Why should sunk costs be ignored when making economic decisions
in order to maximize or minimize things such as utility, profits,
total cost, time, etc?
Does the law of diminishing marginal utility hold true in every
situation? Is it possible to think of any goods for which consuming
additional units, at least initially, will result in increasing
marginal utility? Why or why not?
Explain why the marginal cost curve intersects the average total
cost curve at the level of output...
