Nokia sells a new budget cell phone. Based on information
provided by the accounting department, the average variable
cost is: AVC = $30 + Q
%3D
The average fixed cost is: AFC = $9,000,000/Q
where Q is the number of phones. The phone sells for $50.
Show your work/thought process:
a. Find the total cost, average cost, and marginal cost
equations.
b. At what level of output is average total cost minimized?
Why the average variable cost (AVC) and average total cost (ATC) curves are U-shaped (decreasing, reaches minimum and then increasing)?
Refer to the graph shown. This set of cost curves Is:
MC
ATC
B
AVC
A
Q*
Output
Multiple Cholce
wrong because the ATC should be below the AVC.
wrong because the marginal cost curve should not Intersect the average total cost curve.
wrong because the marginal cost curve should go through the minimum polnts of the AVC and ATC curves.
correct.
