The figure to the right illustrates the long-run average cost curve for a company that makes motors Suppose the company produces & thousand meters per month. Is it experiencing economies of scale, diseconomies of scale, or constant returns to scale? If the company produces 4 thousand motors, then it experiences Average total cont 45.00 41.00 40.00 36.00 32.00 28.00 24.00 20.00 16.00 12.00 8.00 4.00 0.00 Long-nun average cost 4610 12 14 16 18 20 Quantity (motors per month in 1,000s)

Do you think that the taxicab industry in large cities would be subject to significant economies of scale? Why or why not?
What is the difference between economies of scale, constant returns to scale, and diseconomies of scale?
What shape of a long-run average cost curve illustrates economies of scale, constant returns to scale, and diseconomies of scale?
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 shapes would you generally expect each of the following cost curves to have: fixed costs, variable costs, marginal costs, average total costs, and average variable costs?
Are fixed costs also sunk costs? Explain.
How does fixed cost affect marginal cost? Why is this relationship important?
What is the difference between a fixed input and a variable input?
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.
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?
How do we calculate each of the following: marginal cost, average total cost, and average variable cost?
Which costs are measured on per-unit basis: fixed costs, average cost, avenge variable cost, variable costs, and marginal cost?
