Refer to Table 8.6. From the information in the given table,
A) the firm is in the long run.
B) the firm eventually experiences diminishing returns to its variable input.
C) the marginal cost curve intersects the average total cost curve between 3 and 4 units of output.
D) the difference between total cost and total variable cost decreases as output increases.
Marginal Cost
Incremental expense incurred from the production of one additional unit of a good.
Average Total Cost
The total costs of production divided by the total output, indicating the average cost per unit of output.
Total Cost
The combined total of expenses involved in making goods or services, including costs that do not change and those that do.
- Analyze how cost curves (MC, AVC, AFC, TC, ATC) behave and how they relate to each other in short-run production.
- Determine the stages of production including increasing returns, diminishing returns, and negative returns in the context of the law of diminishing marginal returns.
