Process B has a fixed \cost of ₦120,000 and a variable \cost of ₦40 per unit. If the market price of the good is ₦60 per unit, which process should the firm choose?
A. Process A
B. Process B

B. opportunity \cost of producing one more unit of a good
C. law of diminishing marginal returns
D. theory of comparative advantage
Question 12
