VERY SHORT RUN, MICROECONOMICS: A production period of time in which at all inputs in the production process are fixed, meaning the quantity of output itself is fixed. Also termed market period, the very short run exists if the period is so short that no additional production is possible. In other words, the good has been produced, all that remains is to sell it. This is one of four production time periods used in the study of microeconomics. The other three are short run, long run, and very long run.

ORANGE REBELOON
Your compete MICRO*scope for today
You are the type of person who would march to your own drummer and dance to your own tune if everyone else wasn't doing the same thing. Family and friends have stopped inviting you out to lunch due to constant bickering with the servers. Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time going from convenience store to convenience store seeking to buy either several magazines on fashion design or a package of 3 by 5 index cards, the ones without lines. Be on the lookout for crowded shopping malls. You should consider shopping at stores or businesses beginning with the letter V, but do not buy any products with a serial number or product code containing the number 412844. Your preferred shopping venue is flea markets. Your special symbol is the backslash (\).
Is this You?
As an Orange Rebeloon, you are very much the rebel and the contrarian. It is your nature to go against the grain. When everyone else is buying, you sell. When everyone else is selling, you buy. You go against the trends. You disdain fashion. If it's hot, you're not. You would march to your own drummer and dance to your own tune, if doing so wasn't so trite and conventional.
This isn't me! What am I?

AVERAGE FACTOR COST, MONOPSONY Total factor cost per unit of factor input employed by a monopsony in the production of output, found by dividing total factor cost by the quantity of factor input. Average factor cost, abbreviated AFC, is generally equal to the factor price. However, using the longer term average factor cost makes it easier to see the connection to related terms, including total factor cost and marginal factor cost.

The Crystal Ball Of ECONOMIC FORECASTINGHow often has this happened to you? You've packed a tasty picnic lunch, donned your spiffy-looking swimwear, loaded up the beach blanket and umbrella, then headed for the artificial waves of the local Happy-Time Gala-World Fun-Land Water Park expecting bright sunshine and warm temperatures. However, upon reaching Happy-Time Gala-World Fun-Land Water Park you find that the economy has fallen into a deep recession, with high unemployment rates and sluggish production, and the owners of the Happy-Time Gala-World Fun-Land Water Park have been forced to turn off the artificial wave machine, dismantle the water slides, and drain the pool. (It's also raining and 50 degrees. We will, however, ignore those problems because this isn't A Pedestrian's Guide to Meteorology.)
