Answer:

(a) Continue to operate.

(b) Shut down

(c) Continue to operate.

Explanation:

(a) It is given that the firm will experiencing a loss of $5000. Therefore, it means that a loss of $5,000 is borne by the producer of the fixed cost. It is a portion of fixed cost but the firm will continue to operate in the short run if it covers all of the variable cost in the short run.

(b) The firms in the long run try to cover all of its variable and fixed cost. If this situation persists then this firm unable to cover its all costs. Therefore, the firm will shut down its operation and go out of the business.

(c) Now, if the firm’s fixed costs are $2,000.

There is a reduction in the fixed cost by $6,000

Previously firm able to cover = $8,000 - $5,000

                                                = $3,000

It means that it cover its fixed cost and hence, the firm will operate in both short run and long run.

This scenario best illustrates forward integration.

This is a case of forward integration because BlockWood Inc., which was facing similar difficulties with other buyers too, eventually stopped supplying raw materials and took to manufacturing furniture instead. SO they decided to fabricate their own furniture.

Companies make this decision as a process of vertical integration to expand and grow their business. In this case to produce and control their own products, eliminating the retailer that had decided to pay less money for the raw materials.

So now, Blockwood Inc. has the challenge to design and sell the products it is fabricating.
