Assume that a firm uses capital as a fixed factor of production and uses labor as a variable factor. The marginal product of labor at first increases and then decreases with the amount of labor.
(a) Using a correctly labeled graph, draw and identify the form’s average total cost curve (ATC), average variable cost curve (AVC), and marginal cost curve (MC).
d) Draw a long-run average total cost curve that has a region of economies of scale followed by a region of diseconomies of scale, as output increases.

Question 1Mankiw, page 265, question 7. Your cousin Vinnie owns a painting company with fixed costs of $200 and the following schedule for variable costs. Calculate average fixed cost (AFC), average variable cost, (AVC) and average total cost (ATC) for each quantity. Note: Recall that • AFC = FC/Q • AVC = VC/Q • ATC = TC/Q or ATC = AFC + AVC where TC = FC + VC I. What is AFC when output is Q = 2? II. What is AVC when output is...

1. Which of the following must be true when average total cost is decreasing? Average fixed cost is increasing. Average variable cost is constant. Marginal cost is lower than avergae total cost. Marginal cost is decreasing. 2. Which of the following is true? AVC=ATC+AFC. AFC will go up in the beginning but will eventually go down. MC= (change in TC)/ (change in Q) FC+MC=TC. 3. Which of the following is true? Average product (AP) is increasing when the marginal product...
