In the short run, the marginal cost of the first unit of output is $40, the average variable cost of producing three units of output is $32, and the marginal cost of producing the second unit of output is $32. What is the marginal cost of producing the third unit of output? (Correct answer is $24)
Why will firms in most markets be located at or close to the bottom of the long-run average cost curve?
suppose the average variable cost of production is $15 when output equals 110 haircuts and $17.26 when output equals 140 haircuts. If the firm wants to maximize profit how many haircuts will it produce at what cost? explain your answer.

But when the firm shifts from producing 1 to 2 computers, marginal cost falls. Why?arrow_forward
- When the marginal cost curve intersects the average variable cost curve, which of the following is true? Marginal cost is equal to marginal revenue. This is the quantity a firm would choose to produce in the short run. Average total cost is at its lowest point. Average total cost is at its highest point. Average variable cost is at its lowest point.arrow_forwardEach graph below illustrates three short run cost curves for firms, where ATC is Average Total Cost (aka Average Cost), MC is Marginal Cost, and AVC is Average Variable Cost.
