A. Time period with at least one fixed element
B. Time period with the least control over constraints
C. Time period of determining quantity and cost that yields the greatest profit
D. Time period when constraints are most likely to be variable

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Time period when constraints are most likely to be variable

Explanation:

The long run period of a firm is when the factors of production such as land, labor , capital etc varies. In this period, a firm is flexible in its production decision due to the variability in the factors of production.

In the long run, a firm has time to build a bigger factory hence respond to changes in demand. Also, the price level(general), expectation, and contractual wages , all adjust to the prevailing economic condition in the long run period.

Answer 2

Answer:

D. Time period when constraints are most likely to be variable

Explanation:

The long run is a period of time in which all factors of production and costs are variable. In the long run, firms are able to adjust all costs, whereas in the short run firms are only able to influence prices through adjustments made to production levels.
