Donny, of Donny's Doughnuts, bakes and sells 100 dozen doughnuts a day using one mixer and one fryer. His rival, Sunshine, of Sunshine's Doughnuts, produces 180 dozen doughnuts a day using two mixers and two fryers. Both shops use the exact same technology to make doughnuts and have the same number of workers and the same size building.
Donny and Sunshine both increase their capital equipment by one mixer and one fryer.
Which shop will benefit the most from its expansion?
O The shops will benefit equally because they are using the same quantity of equipment.
O Donny, because his workers currently have less available capital to work with.
O The local weight-loss clinic, because the number of doughnuts consumed will increase.
O Sunshine, because her operation was producing more doughnuts to start with.

As the workers are constant in both companies and Sunshine already have two mixer and fryers. Thus, all its workers are already busy, but that of Donny's Doughnuts are not that busy, and can make effective utilization of such newly added mixer and fryer.

Accordingly, the capital will be adding the value to the company, but in case of Sunshine it might just add up in the cost and might not get such effective results. As the capital will be useless in case of no labors are present to work on such capital equipment.

The shop will benefit the most from its expansion is Sunshine, because her operation was producing more doughnuts to start with.

What is Production?

This is the process of combining material inputs(raw materials) in order to arrive at a product for consumption.

In this scenario, we were told that Sunshine produces more doughnuts and then the both of them added equal amount of equipment, which means Sunshine will benefit more because it was producing more doughnuts before expansion took place thereby making option D the most appropriate choice.
