John Klement is a soybean farmer who harvests 125,000 bushels of soybeans annually. Klement’s fixed costs are $200,000 and his variable costs are $5 per bushel. Soybeans are currently priced at $5.35 per bushel. Based on his estimates, Klement sees soybean prices being relatively stable for the next two years, then increasing to $7.00 per bushel due to increased demand from Japan. What action should Klement take? Klement should:

A) cut his production by 50% for the next two years and then resume full production.
B) shut down for two years and then restart his business.
C) continue operating his business as usual.

Funny!

Correct Answer is C.

Why? Because he's able to atleast pay his variable costs? What about the fixed costs? Dude is losing money!

As long as you can cover your variable costs you stay open. Fixed costs are sunk costs. You don't consider them when making decisions because they are paid either way.

Of course, in the long run, this wouldn't continue.

BTW, Japan is too snobby and protective of their own crops. They would never buy foreign stuff. ;)
