Answer to Question 1

Some factors cannot be adjusted quickly in the short run. Costs associated with these factors are called fixed costs. Variable costs are costs incurred through the utilization of factors that can be readily varied in the short term (such as raw materials or labor). Variable costs are costs that increase as output increases, and decrease as output decreases. All costs are variable in the long run when firms have sufficient time to vary all factors of production.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
