The WipeOut Ski Company manufactures skis for beginners. Fixed costs are 30. Fill in Table 7.16 for total cost, average variable test, average total cost, and marginal cost.
How does fixed cost affect marginal cost? Why is this relationship important?
Do you think that the taxicab industry in large cities would be subject to significant economies of scale? Why or why not?
Return to Figure 7.7. What is the marginal gain in output from increasing the number of batters from 4 to 5 and from 5 to 6? Does it continue the pattern of diminishing marginal returns? Figure 7.7 How output Affects Total costs
What shapes would you generally expect each of the following cost curves to have: fixed costs, variable costs, marginal costs, average total costs, and average variable costs?
Which costs are measured on per-unit basis: fixed costs, average cost, avenge variable cost, variable costs, and marginal cost?
Average cost curves (except for avenge fixed cost) tend to be U-shaped, decreasing and then increasing. Marginal cost curves have the same shape, though this may be harder to see since most of the marginal cost curve is increasing. Why do you think that average and marginal cost curves have the same general shape?
What shape of a long-run average cost curve illustrates economies of scale, constant returns to scale, and diseconomies of scale?
A common name for fixed cost is overhead. If you divide fixed cost by the quantity of output produced, you get average fixed cost. Supposed fixed cost is 1,000. What does the average fixed cost curve look like? Use your response to explain what spreading the overhead means.
How do we calculate each of the following: marginal cost, average total cost, and average variable cost?
What is the relationship between marginal product and marginal cost? (Hint: Look at the curves.) Why do you suppose that is? Is this relationship the same in the long run as in the short run?
What is the difference between fixed costs and variable costs?
