How does fixed cost affect marginal cost? Why is this relationship important?
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?
A firm had sales revenue of 1 million last year. It spent 600,000 on labor, 150,000 on capital and 200,000 on materials. What was the firms accounting profit?
What shape of a long-run average cost curve illustrates economies of scale, constant returns to scale, and diseconomies of scale?
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?
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.
What is a production function?
What is the difference between economies of scale, constant returns to scale, and diseconomies of scale?
Compute the average total cost, average variable cost, and marginal cost of producing 50 and 72 haircuts. Draw the graph of line three curves between 60 and 72 haircuts.
