Explanation of Solution
Short-run refers to the time period in which at-least one input is fixed. While, in the long-run all the inputs of production can be varied. In other words, in the short-run, at least one input is fixed, while in the long run all inputs are variable. In the long-run planning of a firm there are no fixed costs. The firm not only regards all factors as variable, but it regards all costs as variable as well.
