Would you please tell me how the economies of scale can spread out the cost of production, so that the average cost of each product is reduced?
If b=0, what would happen to the total-cost and marginal-cost curves of C=C(Q)=aQ^3+bQ^2+cQ+d?
is it true that the marginal cost curve intersects the average variable cost curve at the break-even point?

What do they imply for the shape of the long-run average cost curve?arrow_forwardLet's play around with the concepts of total cost versus marginal cost Suppose a grocery store figures out that it costs $500 per week to hire a full time worker who can fill pickup orders. Create a table with room for 5 columns and 6 rows in your notes Use the top row for titles. The first (left) column should be titled Number of Workers and should have 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 as values. We're going to analyze whether the store should hire 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 workers. Title the next column Total Cost (TC) and the third column Marginal Cost (MC). Put an X in the MC square corresponding to 0 workers. That would be the cost of going from negative 1 workers to 0 workers, let's leave it blank YOu'll see that marginal columns tend to start across from the first unit. We'll use the remaining columns later. What is the Marginal Cost per week of hiring the 4th worker? $500 O $1,000 O $1,500 $2,000arrow_forward
