Classify the following as fixed or variable costs: advertising expenditures, fuel, interest on company-issued bonds, shipping charges, payments for raw materials, real estate taxes, executive salaries, insurance premiums, wage payments, sales taxes, and rental payments on leased office machinery. "There are no fixed costs in the long run; all costs are variable." Explain.

b. Explain how the location of each curve graphed in question 5a would be altered if (1) total fixed cost is $100 rather than $60 and (2) total variable cost is $10 less at each level of output.
