In a furniture market, if a furniture company is analyzing the short run total costs, one of the following business practices would be beneficial. Which one?
divide the variable costs of production by the quantity of output
divide the total costs of production by the quantity of output
divide total costs into two categories: fixed costs that can't be changed in the short run and variable costs that can be.

Consider an individual firm competing in a market with many other producers and producing an undifferentiated product (i.e., consumers consider the product from one firm to be exactly as good as the product from any other firm).
Assume this firm faces a conventional production technology. The short-run production function has a small range of increasing marginal product (increasing marginal returns) and then is subject to the Law of Diminishing Marginal Product (diminishing marginal returns).
Putting quantity q on the horizontal axis and dollars $ on the vertical axis, depict four important curves: Average Fixed Cost (AFC), Average Variable Cost (AVC), Average Total Cost (ATC), and Marginal Cost (MC). Label each of these curves with the subscript 0 to indicate that these are the original (or current) curves.
For this question, assume the individual producers in this industry have no control over prices; they must accept the exogenously given price, P0. On a graph containing the four…
The short-run supply curve for this firm is:
a. entire MC curve
b. along the AVC curve lying after meeting the point along the MC curve
c. along the MC curve lying after meeting the point along the AVC curve
d. along the MC curve lying after meeting the point along the AC curve
e. Cannot be determined in this diagram5

- Which one of the following statements about a firm’s cost curves is true? A. The average variable cost curve only includes explicit costs. B. Increases in input prices for variable factors of production will shift the firm’s marginal cost curve up and also shift the firm’s total variable cost curve up. C. Fixed costs only include implicit costs. D. An increase in the price of a fixed factor of production will shift all of the firm’s cost curves up. E. A competitive firm’s short run supply curve is always identical at all points to its short run marginal cost curve.arrow_forwardCan you please assist me with these? Why will firms in most markets be located at or close to the bottom of the longrun average cost curve? Distinguish between implicit and explicit costs. How is it possible to have positive accounting profit and negative economic profit concurrently? Distinguish between economies of scale and constant returns to scale.
