Which of the following statements is true? O At every output level the marginal product curve lies above the average product curve. The marginal product curve always has a positive slope. The marginal product = average product curves when average product is at its maximum. O The marginal and average product curves intersect at the maximum level of output.
In the short run production function O a. All inputs are variable O b. All inputs are fixed O C. There are fixed and variable inputs Od. Technology alone is variable
Let's assume that a firm produces 60 products. Its total weekly cost (TC) at this output is $2,100. This includes TVC and TFC. We also know that the firm employs 3 part- time workers at a wage cost of $600 per worker per week. This is the firm's only variable cost (TVC). What is the firm's average fixed cost (AFC) at this output? O $2.50. O $2. O $5. O $100. O $10. Let's assume that a firm's total weekly costs are as follows: 1. Salaries of hired workers $5,000. 2. Supplies = $1,000. 3. Rent = $600, 4. The owners have invested a certain amount of their own money into the business. This could have earned them interest of $200 per week if they had chosen to put it into a bank instead of investing it into their business. 5. The value of the owner's time is estimated to be $800 per week. What are the firm's total economic costs? O $6.000 O $7.600. O $900. $7.500. O $6.700.
