*Note that output levels are calibrated in hundreds in this
example; that's why we have divided the change in total costs and
revenues from one output level to another by 100 to calculate
marginal revenue and marginal cost. Very few manufacturers deal in
units of 1.
(a) What were the fixed costs of production for the firm?

(b) At what rate of output was profit per computer maximized?
(Choose the highest output level.)

- Which of the following is an implicit cost of production?
a) the interest you pay your mother for the money she loaned you to start your business
b) the loss in the value of capital equipment due to wear and tear
c) the utility bill paid to water, electricity, and natural gas companies
d) the salary you pay yourself for running your business
- The minimum efficient scale is
a) the plant size that yields the most profit.
b) the smallest output level where the firm finally reaches productive efficiency.
c) the level of output where diminishing returns have not set in yet.
d) the smallest level of operation where long-run average costs are lowest.
- Which of the following statements is true?
a) Total cost = fixed cost + variable cost.
b) Total cost = fixed cost + implicit cost.
c) Variable cost = wages + salaries + benefits.
d) Opportunity cost = explicit cost - implicit cost.
