Question

Determine if the statements and expressions regarding costs are true or false.

  • The ATC is always greater than or equal to AVC.
  • The ATC is rising when the MC is below the ATC.
  • ATC = FC + VC/Q
  • The ATC is increasing whenever the MC is increasing
  • TC = FC + VC + MC
  • All costs are either fixed or variable
  • Average fixed cost is always higher than the average variable cost
  • When the fixed costs are positive, the average fixed cost curve is downward sloping
  • The ATC crosses the MC at the lowest point on the MC
  • MC refers to the change in total cost associated with the production of another unit
  • The VC curve is modeled as a horizontal line.
