The four statements below describe properties of a firm's short run cost curves. Complete the statements using words from the list given below. • The increase in total cost from producing an additional unit of output is called • Average cost is the total cost of When a firm's average cost curve crosses the marginal cost curve, average costs are When a firm's average cost is greater than marginal cost, then producing an additional unit of output will result in a fall in average cost marginal cost at a minimum at a maximum production production divided by the quantity of units produced

1a) A firm’s estimated long-run total cost function is LRTC = 160Q - .6Q2 + .002Q3. Suppose the firm is producing 100 units of output. The cost elasticity is ____ You can use Excel spreadsheet or otherwise to answer this question. b) A research study published in Social Science Medicine, “Production Functions for General Hospitals,” estimated the following general hospital production function in the Netherlands: Q = 5*Staff.34*Beds.64*Drugs.04*Specialists.02, where Q is a measure used by the authors for patient care. Suppose a hospital currently utilizes the following inputs: Staff =20, Beds = 120, Drugs = 60, Specialists =10. Use a spreadsheet to find the following or otherwise.
