You need to put the second statement in average cost box in the cost function
For cost function we will now have two statements
- Show the minimum cost of production, to produce a given quantity of output with all the available resources.
- It is different from 0 primarily because of fixed cost of production including in this. It continue to increase as the output is increased because of increasing variable cost
Average cost will have only one statement, that it measures cost per unit of output.

Question 3 Long-run average total cost (LAC) O a represents the lowest average cost of producing a given level of output. b. is always equal to or greater than short-run average total cost. c. can be measured in the short-run. If a firm is producing the level of output at which long-run average cost equals long-run marginal cost, then a long-run marginal cost is at its minimum point b. long run average cost is at its minimum point. c long...
A firm uses labor (L) and capital (K) as inputs, and has a short run cost function C=15+ 10q+ q2. Capital is fixed at K̅
A firm uses labor (L) and capital (K) as inputs, and has a short run cost function C=15+ 10q+ q2. Capital is fixed at K̅ a. Give the formula for the firm's marginal cost function. Any method of deriving the marginal cost function is acceptable. (Hint: When calculating MC, you can assume that increases by a very, very small amount, so that q2 = q1 + ε ≈ q and q1 + q2 ≈ 2q.) b. Give the formula for the firm's...

Microeconomics. Prove the following: 1. Consider a firm that has fixed costs. Its marginal cost curve must pass through the lowest point on the average cost curve. Also, it must pass through the lowest point on the average variable cost curve. 2. If input prices for a firm are doubled, then the cost function must double for all levels of output. 3. Consider a firm that has fixed cost F. This firm will not change its output decision regardless of...

If a profit maximizing firm has a fixed cost of $3000 and an average variable cost of $40 per unit but a maximum output of 50 units. The firm cannot avoid the fixed costs in the short run but can avoid the fixed costs by shutting down in the long run. The firm should A) produce output at prices no less than $40 and supply 50 outputs at prices above $40 B) produce output at prices no less than $100...
