- 4.4 Older oil wells that produce fewer than 10 barrels of oil a day are called “stripper" wells. Suppose that you and a partner own a stripper well that can produce 8 barrels of oil per day, and you estimate that the marginal cost of producing another barrel of oil is $80. In making your calculation, you take into account the cost of labor, materials, and other inputs that increase when you produce more oil. Your partner looks over your calculation of marginal cost and says: “You forgot about that bank loan we received two years ago. If we take into account the amount we pay on that loan, it adds $10 per barrel to our marginal cost of production." Briefly explain whether you agree with your partner's analysis.arrow_forwardBriefly explain what is meant by the term "fixed costs" and provide three examples of same.
