What is a long-run average cost curve?
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?
How do we calculate each of the following: marginal cost, average total cost, and average variable cost?
How does fixed cost affect marginal cost? Why is this relationship important?
