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.
Which costs are measured on per-unit basis: fixed costs, average cost, avenge variable cost, variable costs, and marginal 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?
How does fixed cost affect marginal cost? Why is this relationship important?
Are fixed costs also sunk costs? Explain.
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?
Consider the following cost information for a pizzeria:Quantity Total Cost Variable Cost0 dozen pizzas $300 $0I 350 502 390 903 420 1204 450 1505 490 1906 540 240a. What is the pizzeria's fixed cost?b. Construct a table in which you calculatethe marginal cost per dozen pizzas using theinformation on total cost. Also, calculate themarginal cost per dozen pizzas using the inforpmation on variable cost. What is the relationshipbetween these sets of numbers? Explain.

A firm is producing 20 units with an averagetotal cost of $25 and a marginal cost of $15. Ifit increases production to 21 units, which of thefollowing must occur?a. Marginal cost will decrease.b. Marginal cost will increase.c. Average total cost will decrease.d. Average total cost will increase.
Your cousin Vinnie owns a painting company withfixed costs of $200 and the following schedule forvariable costs:Quantity ofHousesPainted perMonth 1 2 3 4 5 6 7VariableCosts$10 $20 $40 $80 $160 $320 $640Calculate average fixed cost, average variable cost, andaverage total cost for each quantity.

A company produces two products. FC = Total Fixed costs = $580VC1= variable costs from product 1 = $920VC2= variable costs from product 2 = $805TR1= revenue from product 1 = $900TR2= revenues from product 2 = $900In the short run, what should the firm do? a.Produce product 1 but not 2 b.Produce neither c.Produce both d.Produce product 2 but not 1
