Name the following
Refers to the situation in which the increase in the scale of the production give rise to certain benefits to the producers
Explain Theory of production, and Theory of cost. Analyze the business, using at least a two-dimensional graph and pie chart or bar chart for illustrations. Let us say you adopt the demand/supply theories. Then tell us about demand/supply of one of the business’ products over a range of product prices, letting us know the strengths and weaknesses of the product and steps to improve its competitiveness.
Which of the following statements
correctly explains the average cost and
the marginal cost of production?
a.
Marginal cost is equal to the profit-
maximising price set by a firm that
produces a differentiated good.
b.
Average cost is the vertical intercept of
the total cost curve.
C.
Marginal cost is calculated as the total
cost divided by the quantity
d.
Average cost is at its minimum when it is
equal to marginal cost.
e.
Marginal cost is always higher than
average cost.
