Similar questions

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?
Would you consider an interest payment on a loan to a film an explicit or implicit cost?
Do you think that the taxicab industry in large cities would be subject to significant economies of scale? Why or why not?
A common name for fixed cost is overhead. If you divide fixed cost by the quantity of output produced, you get average fixed cost. Supposed fixed cost is 1,000. What does the average fixed cost curve look like? Use your response to explain what spreading the overhead means.
How does fixed cost affect marginal cost? Why is this relationship important?
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.
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?
Are fixed costs also sunk costs? Explain.
