Assume that you start your own business producing clay pots and hire workers to start production. The first worker produces 20 clay pots a day, and when your hire the second worker, total production increases to 48 clay pots a day.

- image 1 : This chapter discusses many types of costs: explicit costs, implicit costs, total cost, average fixed cost, average variable cost, and marginal cost. Fill in the type of cost that best completes each sentence. Profits equal total revenue minus (average fixed cost , average variable cost , explicit cost , implicit cost , marginal cost , total cost) The term (average fixed cost , average variable cost , explicit cost , implicit cost , marginal cost , total cost) refers to costs that involve direct monetary payment by the firm. (average fixed cost , average variable cost , explicit cost , implicit cost , marginal cost , total cost) is falling when marginal cost is below it and rising when marginal cost is above it. The cost of producing an extra unit of output is the (average fixed cost , average variable cost , explicit cost , implicit cost , marginal cost , total cost) .
