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?
How does fixed cost affect marginal cost? Why is this relationship important?
Would you consider an interest payment on a loan to a film an explicit or implicit cost?
Are there fixed costs in the lung-run? Explain briefly.
A common name for fixed cost is overhead. If you divide fixed cost by the quantity of output produced, you get average fixed cost. Supposed fixed cost is 1,000. What does the average fixed cost curve look like? Use your response to explain what spreading the overhead means.
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.
A firm had sales revenue of 1 million last year. It spent 600,000 on labor, 150,000 on capital and 200,000 on materials. What was the firms accounting profit?
Are fixed costs also sunk costs? Explain.
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?
What is a long-run average cost curve?
What is the difference between a fixed input and a variable input?
