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?
Based on your answers to the WipeOut Ski Company in Exercise 7.3, now imagine a situation where the firm produces a quantity of 5 units that it sells for a price of 25 each. What will be the companys profits or losses? How can you tell at a glance whether the company is making or losing money at this price by looking at average cost? At the given quantity and price, is the marginal unit produced adding to profits?
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?
What is die difference between accounting and economic profit?
Do you think that the taxicab industry in large cities would be subject to significant economies of scale? Why or why not?
Return to Figure 7.7. What is the marginal gain in output from increasing the number of batters from 4 to 5 and from 5 to 6? Does it continue the pattern of diminishing marginal returns? Figure 7.7 How output Affects Total costs
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?
In choosing a production technology, how will firms react if one input becomes relatively more expensive?
What is the difference between economies of scale, constant returns to scale, and diseconomies of scale?

What is the difference between accounting profit and economic prof? A Economic profit subtracts both explicit and implicit costs from total revenue, while acounting profit only subtracts explicit costs. OR Accounting proft only subtracts implicit costs from totsi revenue, while economic profit only subtracts explicit costs. OC Economic proft orly subtracts implicit costs from total revenue, while accounting profit only subtracts explicit costs. OD. Accounting proft suberacts both explicit and implicit costs from total revenue, while economic proft only subtracts explicit costs
The Production Process and Costs 6. A firm's fixed costs for 0 units of output and its average total cost of produc- ing different output levels are summarized in the table below.
