short run marginal cost is greater than the long run marginal cost because there are constraints faced by the firm in the short run in terms of fixed inputs. An increase in the price of variable factor cannot result in increasing the quantity of other input in the short run because it is fixed. This causes the variable cost and the marginal cost to increase by a greater value then the increase that happens in the long run when similar event occurs. This implies that as production is increased buy hiring more of an input, short run marginal cost will increase by a greater value then the increase in the long run marginal cost.
8. The following figure shows that the short-run marginal cost curve may lie above the long-run marginal cost curve. SA...
9. The following diagram shows the long-run average and marginal cost curves for a firm. AC SMC (K = 150) MC SMC (K=300 It also shows the short-run marginal cost curve for two levels of fixed capital: K = 150 and K=300. For each plant size, draw the corresponding short-run average cost curve and explain briefly why that curve should be where you drew it and how it is consistent with the other curves.
The
following graph shows the short run total cost curves and the long
tun total cost curves for a publishing firm. the five marked
quantities indicate points of tangency between each short run
average total cost curve and the long run average cost curve.
could someone please help me to answer this and give a little
explenation for my similar problems?

The following graph shows the short-run average total cost
curves and the long-run average total cost curve for a publishing
firm. The five marked quantities indicate points of tangency
between each short-run average total cost curve ( SRATC ) and the
long-run average total cost curve ( LRATC ); for example, Q1 marks
the point of tangency between SRATC1 and LRATC .

Explain why the industry supply curve is not the long-run industry marginal cost curve. The industry supply curve is not the long-run industry marginal cost curve because O A. production will only occur along the long-run marginal cost curve for prices above average variable cost. O B. at prices above the minimum long-run average cost of production, firms will exit the industry. O C. production will only occur along the long-run marginal cost curve when profits are earned. O D....

QUESTION 13 Every point on the long-run average cost curve is O on a short-run marginal cost curve. also a minimum point on a short-run average cost curve. O on a short-run average total cost curve. O on a short-run average variable cost curve. QUESTION 14 If total costs are $50,000 when 1000 units are produced, and total costs are $50,100 when 1001 units are produced, we can conclude that O average variable costs are $100. o marginal costs are...
The short run marginal cost curve in the traditional microeconomic model of production eventually rises because of a. diseconomies of scale. b. diminishing marginal revenues. c. rising fixed costs. d. increasing marginal productivity of variable inputs. e. diminishing marginal returns. . If the long-run average cost of production falls as the firm increases its level of output, then the firm exhibits a. constant returns to scale. b. constant marginal costs. c. economies of scale. d. diseconomies of scale. e. diminishing...
