Which costs are measured on per-unit basis: fixed costs, average cost, avenge variable cost, variable costs, and marginal cost?
Are fixed costs also sunk costs? Explain.
Do you think that the taxicab industry in large cities would be subject to significant economies of scale? Why or why not?
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.
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
How does fixed cost affect marginal cost? Why is this relationship important?
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?
