Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Calling in part-time workers is a short-run adjustment, as it is a temporary solution to meet the increased demand during the holiday rush. The other options involve long-run adjustments as they involve changes to the physical assets of the firm (such as land or production facility) that require a significant investment and time to implement. Increasing the size of a waiting room could be a short-run or long-run adjustment depending on whether it requires significant capital investment or can be done quickly and easily.
