This graphing activity will reinforce your understanding of how marginal, average, and total product are graphed and how fixed, variable, marginal, average, and total costs are graphed.
Using the Google Draw tool, create 2 graphs.
Make sure to label each function and axis appropriately on each graph.

1a. How will an improvement in technology change total product, average product, marginal product, total cost, average cost, and marginal cost in the short run? 1b. How will an increase in the wage a business pays affect total product, average product, marginal product, total cost, average cost, and marginal cost in the short run?
The curves show the marginal cost (MC), average variable cost (AVC), and average total cost (ATC) functions for a firm in a competitive market. Using the straight-line tool, draw a straight line, all the way from the left edge of the graph to the right edge, to represent the minimum price at which the firm should continue operating.
The curves show the marginal revenue (MR), marginal cost (MC), and average total cost (ATC) functions for a firm in a competitive market. Use the area tool to draw the area representing the maximum profit the firm could earn—that is, the profit the firm would earn if it produced the optimal quantity. Your answer should be a rectangle drawn with four corners.

The graph below shows the demand (D), marginal revenue (MR), marginal cost (MC), and average total cost (ATC) curves for a hazardous-waste removal firm that operates as a local monopoly. If the market quantity is 400 barrels, use the area tool to draw the rectangle that represents the firm's profits. Your answer should be a rectangle drawn with four corners.

The graph shows the demand (D), marginal cost (MC), marginal revenue (MR), and average variable cost (AVC) curves for a firm that is a price maker for its product. The MC and AVC curves slope upward because one of the materials used to make the product is scarce. The firm can obtain a small supply cheaply, but additional units get more and more expensive. Additionally, the firm faces no fixed costs. If the firm is able to practice price discrimination, using...
b. Average variable cost, average fixed cost, marginal cost and average cost are necessary for the analysis of the cost structure of the firm. Define each of these terms and show how they are calculated c. Describe the relationship between the marginal product and the total product of a firm
Use the following information to complete the table in the worksheet named "Data" When completing the table, you must enter the appropiate formulas instead of typing the numeric answer. Do not change the cell formatting in the table. ABC Designs offers printing services to publishers. The table in the worksheet "Data" provides production information in terms of number of books that can be printed per hour of work. Assume that monthly fix cost, which include the cost of capital and...
The top graph below shows the marginal cost (MC), average variable cost (AVC), and average total cost (ATC) curves for an individual firm in a competitive commercial ridesharing market where the price has stabilized. In the blank graph below it, use the straight-line tool to draw the long-run market supply curve as a line from one edge of the graph to the other.
