Explain the difference between fixed costs and variable costs. Simply listing the definitions for the two terms is not sufficient. Explain in plain English how these concepts are different.

Refer to the table below. Note that the first column shows variable costs. Quantity Cost 0 1 2 3 5 6 (in dollars) Costs 0 15 35 60 90 Fixed Total Average Costs Total Costs (in (in (in dollars dollars) per unit) dollars) 160 40 40 40 55 55 : 40 75 37.5 40 100 125 40 33.3 40 130 32.5 165 33 40 200 33.3 Average Variable Costs (in dollars per unit) 15 17.5 20 22.5 25 26.6 Marginal Costs (in dollars per unit) 15 20 25 30 35 40 If the firm produces 5 units that it sells at a price of $30.00 each, what will its profits or losses equal? losses equal $15 profts equal $15 profts equal $25 losses equal $25

Let F be the fixed cost of production, let VC be the variable cost of production, C be the total cost, MC be the marginal cost, AFC, the average fixed cost, AVC, the average variable cost, and AC, the average cost. Complete the following cost table. (Enter numeric responses rounded to two decimal places.)

fixed cost is the same at each output level except when no output is produced. when a firm produces no output,there are no fix cost. true or false? explain

The Cooper Company has the following information on costs. Quantity Fixed Cost Variable Cost 3 200 10 4 200 20 5 200 30 Calculate the average variable cost of producing 5 units. Round your answer to two decimal places if necessary.

What do economists call the sum of a firm's fixed costs and its variable costs? sunk cost marginal cost implicit cost total cost

A firm with some fixed costs and a constant marginal cost at all levels of production will have which of the following average cost relationships? As production increases, average total cost will:   A remain the same   B decrease   C increase   D decrease and then increase   E increase and then decrease

Use your knowledge of cost functions to calculate the missed cost data in the accompanying table. Round your answers to two digits after the decimal. Quantity Marginal cost Fixed cost Variable cost Total cost Average fixed cost Average variable cost Average total cost 0 ---       --- --- --- 1           $50.00$50.00   2     $68.00$68.00         3 $95.00$95.00             4   $50.00$50.00   $360.00$360.00       What is the total cost when producing zero units?

Let F be the fixed cost of production, let VC be the variable cost of production, C be the total cost, MC be the marginal cost, AFC, the average fixed cost, AVC, the average variable cost, and AC, the average cost.
