Am I solving correctly? I don’t really remember how to derive the AC equation or graph these values that I have found.
Consider the following diagram showing a range of isoquants and isocosts, with labour measured on the horizontal axis and capital measured on the vertical axis. Assume that when the firm is producing in the short run, capital is fixed at K but capital is variable in the long run. K, Capital K A B Q3 Isoquant Q2 Isoquant Q₁ Isoquant L, Labour Which of the following can we conclude? O Only point B represents cost minimisation in both the short run and the long run, as it is on the short run expansion path, as well being the cost minimising point in the long run. Points A, B and C represent cost minimisation in the long run only. There are no points that represent cost minimisation in both the short run and the long run. Points A, B and C represent cost minimisation in both the short run and the long run. Points D and E represent cost minimisation in the short run only. Points A, B and C represent cost minimisation but only in the short run. Points D and E represent cost minimisation in…

Show this firm's average total cost, average variable cost and marginal cost on a graph. Indicate the efficient scale (I don't think the book uses the words "efficient scale" but it's the quantity where profit would be zero when P=MC. We will discuss what I mean by "efficient scale but probably not before Thursday. By "indicate" I mean give the quantity and MC. I don't need every point to be exactly to scale, I just care about the general shape of the curves, where things cross and the location and…
If a firm experiences economies of scale over all relevantlevels of output, its long-run average total cost curve will: O slope downward O slope upward. be vertical O be horizontal.
The shape of the long-run average cost curve is primarily due to: O economies and diseconomies of scale. O technological change. diminishing marginal productivity. O indivisible set-up costs 21 MacBook Pro F8 F9 80 D00 F6 F7 F4 FS %24 &
