Explanation of Solution

The production economies state that the short-run is the period of time during  which one or more inputs into production cannot be changed which means that the short-run production function of a firm holds variable inputs as well as fixed inputs.  The capital of the firm is the most fixed input in the short-run.

The long-run production is the period of time during which all the inputs into production are fully adjustable which means that all the inputs are variables even including the capital of the firm.

Economics Concept Introduction

Short-run: Short-run refers to the time period which does not allow any change in the capital to adjust with the market situation.

Long-run: Long-run refers to the time which changes the production variable to adjust with the market situation.
