Explain what responsibilities of "cost control" are in a project associated with the making of a Hollywood-style movie. How would these responsibilities change if the movies was a documentary, say on the Covid-19 pandemic?
In a business where, fixed costs are very high (i.e. the production of a new Music CD, or the research and development of a new cancer drug) and the marginal costs are very low why can't price equal marginal cost?
At what level of production does the marginal cost have the least value? What is the marginal cost at this level of production?
