Transcribed Image Text:The graph illustrates the relationships between Marginal Cost (MC), Average Total Cost (ATC), and Average Variable Cost (AVC) in a production process.
### Graph Details:
- **Vertical Axis (Y-Axis):** Represents the cost, ranging from 0.40 to 0.90.
- **Horizontal Axis (X-Axis):** Represents the quantity of output, ranging from 0 to 400.
### Curves Explained:
1. **MC (Marginal Cost):**
- Initially decreases, reaching a minimum point, and then increases sharply.
- The MC curve intersects both the AVC and ATC curves at their lowest points, which is typical for these cost structures in economics.
2. **ATC (Average Total Cost):**
- Lies above the AVC curve.
- It decreases over a range but eventually starts to increase as output rises, indicating spreading of fixed costs over more units initially and then rising due to variable costs.
3. **AVC (Average Variable Cost):**
- Below the ATC curve, starts higher, then slopes downward slightly before rising again.
- Reflects changes in variable costs as production increases.
### Key Points:
- The intersection of MC with AVC and ATC indicates the minimum points of AVC and ATC, which is significant for understanding cost behavior in production processes.
- The trends of these curves help in analyzing efficiency and the impact of different levels of production on costing.
