When economist Jacob Viner first developed the envelope relationship, he told his draftsman to make sure that all the marginal cost curves went through both (1) the minimum point of the short-run average cost curve and (2) the point where the short-run average total cost curve was tangent to the long-run average total cost curve. The draftsman told him it couldn’t be done. Viner told him to do it anyhow. Why was the draftsman right?
Label each of the following as sunk cost, opportunity cost, or incremental costs and briefly explain why:  (Chapter 2)    You are deciding which car to buy. Car A is $24,000 and car B is $32,000. The difference in price is $8,000. What kind of cost does this represent?   Answer:    Your company invested $300,000 into a study to determine the feasibility of introducing a new product line into the business. The study recommended 2 mutually exclusive feasible alternatives. What kind of cost does the $300K represent?   Answer:    You have 2 alternatives for a $10,000 investment. Investment A provides a $500 return and investment B provides a $700 return. If you choose Alternative B, what does the $500 return from Alternative A represent?   Answer:
Is it true or not that the marginal cost  C′(x) is equal to the average cost at the critical points of the average cost function?  Please elaborate and explain.
