If marginal cost is greater than average total cost, then
a. profits are increasing.
b. economies of scale are becoming greater.
c. the average total cost remains constant.
d. the average total cost is increasing.

d. the average total cost is increasing.

Explanation:

The average total cost if the average cost of producing one unit, where as the marginal cost if the additional cost of producing an additional unit, so when the marginal cost is greater than the average total cost, it means that producing new units will drive the average total cost up because the cost to produce one more unit is more than the average total cost. This means that the new unit being produced costs more than the previous units produced if we take an average. We can also prove this mathematically.

If a factory produces 100 units, at a total cost of 10,000.

The average total cost if 10,000/100=100

If the marginal cost is greater than the average cost for example it is 150 then the total cost is 10,000+150=10,150

Also the average total cost will be 10,150/101=100.49

This shows that when the marginal cost is greater than average total cost the average total cost is increasing.

being born in poverty would limit the people's chances, opportunities and benefits.

this happen because of several things, such as:

- poor people tend to gain less access to good education and nutrition. this mean that their chance to obtain high paying jobs would also be limited.

- poor people tend to socialize with other poor people while the rich tend to socialize with other rich people. this means that simply throguh their social circle, rich people would have more business opportunities compared to the poor people.

- rich people tend to have more capital in their disposal. this would benefit them in business since it is far easier for them to fund their business operation compared to poor people.

the answers are

a, b, c, & e.
