Do you think that the taxicab industry in large cities would be subject to significant economies of scale? Why or why not?
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?
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.
Would you consider an interest payment on a loan to a film an explicit or implicit cost?
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?
What is the relationship between marginal product and marginal cost? (Hint: Look at the curves.) Why do you suppose that is? Is this relationship the same in the long run as in the short run?
How do we calculate each of the following: marginal cost, average total cost, and average variable cost?
Are fixed costs also sunk costs? Explain.
What is the difference between a fixed input and a variable input?
What is the difference between economies of scale, constant returns to scale, and diseconomies of scale?
How would an improvement in technology, like the high-efficiency gas turbines or Pirelli tire plant, affect me lung-nm average cost curve of a firm? Can you draw the old curve and the new one on the same axes? How might such an improvement affect other firms in the industry?
