Transcribed Image Text:The image shows a graph depicting cost curves in microeconomics. The vertical axis represents cost, ranging from 0.40 to 0.90. The horizontal axis represents the quantity of output, ranging from 0 to 400.
Three curves are displayed:
1. **MC (Marginal Cost)**: This curve rises sharply, starting just above 0.50 and increasing to above 0.90 as output increases. This indicates that the cost of producing an additional unit rises significantly as output grows.
2. **ATC (Average Total Cost)**: This curve is U-shaped, initially decreasing and then rising. It starts above the AVC curve and joins it on the right. This reflects how average total costs decrease, reach a minimum point, and then increase as output expands.
3. **AVC (Average Variable Cost)**: This U-shaped curve starts near 0.50, decreases until reaching a minimum, and then inclines. It is positioned below the ATC curve, indicating that average variable costs are lower than total costs at any given level of output.
The graph is useful for understanding cost behaviors, economies of scale, and the relationships between different types of costs.
