Answer:

They have no impact.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fixed costs have no impact on a firm's short run decisions. ... In the short run, a firm that is maximizing its profits will: Increase production if the marginal cost is less than the marginal revenue. Decrease production if marginal cost is greater than marginal revenue.
