(a) Explain why the marginal cost curve above the average
variables cost curve is referred to as the firm’s short run supply
curve? ( use both verbal and diagram analysis)
A perfectly competitive firm's marginal cost curve above the
average variable cost curve is its:
Select one:
a. total revenue curve.
b. short-run supply curve.
c. input demand curve.
d. marginal revenue curve.
a. Explain why the marginal cost curve intersects the average
total and variable cost curves at their
respective minimum values:
b. At what point on the ATC will a perfectly competitive firm
always produce in the long run:
c. The supply curve for a perfectly competitive firm is the same
as one of the cost curves based on a specific criterion, state both
the curve and the criterion.
What curve coincides with (equals) a firm’s marginal-cost curve
that’s lies just above the firm’s average-variable cost curve?
Explain why they coincide.
The situation suggests that the marginal social cost curve for
parking is above the marginal private cost curve and it would be
socially preferable to consume less parking and travel to campus by
alternative means.
Use your knowledge of supply and demand and your creative and
critical thinking skills to propose four actions that would reduce
total demand for parking on campus. Test your understanding of this
module’s material by trying to explain each action using the
terminology that we’ve...
The marginal cost curve crosses the *
1 point
a. average total cost curve at the
maximum of the average total cost curve.
b. average variable cost curve at the
minimum of the average variable cost curve.
c. total cost curve at the minimum of
the total cost curve.
d. average fixed cost curve at the
minimum of the average fixed cost curve.
The average variable cost curve and average total cost curve
tend to converge as output rises because...
7) T/F In a price-taker market, each firm's short run supply
curve is its marginal cost curve, above its minimum average total
cost.8) T/F The limited liability of stockholders in the corporate
business structure makes it harder to raise equity capital.9) T/F In the year 2008, nearly three out of four business firms
in the United States were organized as proprietorships.10) T/F When demand is relatively price inelastic, price and
total revenue will change in the same direction.11) T/F As...
Where do the marginal cost curve and average total cost curve
meet?
At the minimum of the MC curve.
At the minimum of the MR curve.
At the minimum of the ATC curve.
At the minimum of the AVC curv
