10. Suppose a firm must pay an annual tax, which is a fixed sum, independent of whether it produces any output. a. How does this tax affect the firm’s fixed, marginal, and average costs? b. Now suppose the firm is charged a tax that is proportional to the number of items it produces. Again, how does this tax affect the firm’s fixed, marginal, and average costs?

Cost of Production

In economic theory, production costs are the costs incurred by an industrial organization when it engineers a project or provides a service that generates revenue and benefits. Labor costs, raw materials, consumable manufacturing costs, and general overhead sum up, accounting for production costs. Total cost data is calculated by combining total direct costs of materials, labor costs, and total production costs.
