- A student has just written on an exam that, in the long run, fixed cost will make the average total cost curve slope downward. Why will the professor mark it incorrect? In the long run, fixed cost increases as firms build new plants and purchase new capital. This means that the average total cost curve will eventually slope upward. In the long run, firms have no fixed cost—all costs would be variable. The shape of the long-run average total cost curve is determined by economies of scale. In the long run, fixed cost decreases as costs are spread out over a greater quantity of output. Declining fixed cost accounts for the downward-sloping average total cost curve. In the long run, there are no fixed costs, meaning the average total cost curve shifts down.arrow_forwardIyana's Pizzas is a takeout-only pizza parlor servicing the college campus of Urbana that specializes in vegan pizzas. Iyana's small shop has barely enough room for customers to stand and wait, let alone the five pizza ovens necessary to keep up with the hungry student customers. Iyana signed a lease renting both the five ovens and the storefront for the next year. Due to the terms of the lease and the building's size constraint, Iyana is unable to change the store's number of pizza ovens in the short run.arrow_forwardGive an quantitative example of marginal and average cost.arrow_forward
