How does fixed cost affect marginal cost? Why is this relationship important?
Average cost curves (except for avenge fixed cost) tend to be U-shaped, decreasing and then increasing. Marginal cost curves have the same shape, though this may be harder to see since most of the marginal cost curve is increasing. Why do you think that average and marginal cost curves have the same general shape?
What shapes would you generally expect each of the following cost curves to have: fixed costs, variable costs, marginal costs, average total costs, and average variable costs?
What shape of a long-run average cost curve illustrates economies of scale, constant returns to scale, and diseconomies of scale?
How do we calculate each of the following: marginal cost, average total cost, and average variable cost?
A firm had sales revenue of 1 million last year. It spent 600,000 on labor, 150,000 on capital and 200,000 on materials. What was the firms accounting profit?
What is the difference between economies of scale, constant returns to scale, and diseconomies of scale?
Compute the average total cost, average variable cost, and marginal cost of producing 50 and 72 haircuts. Draw the graph of line three curves between 60 and 72 haircuts.
Would you consider an interest payment on a loan to a film an explicit or implicit cost?
What is a production function?
What is a long-run average cost curve?
What is the relationship between marginal product and marginal cost? (Hint: Look at the curves.) Why do you suppose that is? Is this relationship the same in the long run as in the short run?
