Seems pretty self-explanatory to me. It doesn't cost anything (dollar-wise) to be polite. But politeness can "earn" much for you. Friendship, for instance, which can reap many rewards (monetary and otherwise). Politeness can open doors, and cause others to help you or at least be social with you who would not, if you were not polite.

If you buy goods to make a product do you have to pay capital gains tax?

That would be a part of your cost of the product that you are making and would be added to all of your other costs of the product to be your cost basis after the product is finished. For a cake that you are selling it would be a part of the cost of the cake to you that you are selling to someone else. This would not be a capital gains tax sale.


What would cause marginal costs to increase?

By definition marginal cost is the change in total costs for each additional item produced. Marginal costs will decrease when changes in inputs result in costs increasing at a decreasing rate. An example might be gains in productivity when hiring an additional unit of labor results in a more than proportional increase in output. Marginal costs would increase when an additional unit of an input results in a less than proportional increase in output (assuming input prices are constant).
