11) For a firm with some positive fixed costs, the average total cost is U-shaped, decreasing at first and, after some quantity ?0, increasing. Which of the following must be true?
a. Average fixed cost is increasing after ?0
b. The firm’s marginal cost is never higher than the firm’s average variable cost when quantity is greater than ?0
c. The firm’s average variable cost is increasing for quantities greater than ??
d. The firm’s average fixed cost reaches its lowest level when it intersects marginal cost
The correct option for this case will be
C. The firm's average variable cost is increasing for quantities greater than Q0.

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...
A U-shaped long-run average total cost curve can be explained by firms increasing their factory size to (x) avoid coordination problems that occur when the factory is large. (y) take advantage of greater specialization. (z) avoid fixed costs. A. (x), (y) and (z) B. (x) and (y) only C. (x) and (z) only D. (y) and (z) only E. (y) only A business firm produces and sells specialty cakes. Last year, the firm produced 12,000 cakes and sold each cake...
If a firm has a U-Shaped long-run average cost curve, a.) its fixed cost rises as output rises. b.) it must have increasing returns to scale at low levels or production and decreasing returns to scale at high levels of production. C.) it must have increasing returns to each input at low levels of production and decreasing returns to each input at high levels of production. D.) the firm can maximize its output by operating at the point of minimum...
Assume a perfectly competitive firm has positive fixed costs and marginal costs that initially fall and then rise. Draw a diagram showing this firm’s marginal cost, average variable cost, and average total cost. (Hint: Pay careful attention to where the marginal cost curve intersects the others). Identify the minimum price the firm must receive before it shuts down, and the minimum price before it exits in the long run. Now, show what would happen if this firm experienced an increase...
20. When the average product of labor is decreasing, which of the following would you expect to see? a. Average total cost is decreasing b. Average variable cost is increasing c. Marginal cost is decreasing d. Marginal product is greater than average product 21. When a firm is experiencing economies of scale, the slope of the long run average cost (LRAC) curve is This implies that the marginal cost curve lies the LRAC curve. a. Positive; above b. Positive; below...
6. Total cost is calculated as a.the sum of total fixed cost and total variable cost. b.the product of average total cost and price. c. the sum of all the firm's explicit costs. d. the sum of average fixed cost and average variable cost 7. The formula for the total fixed cost is a.TFC = TC + TVC. b.TFC = TVC -TC c.. TFC = TC/TVC. d.TFC = TC -TVC 8.The Lawn Ranger, a landscaping company, has total costs of...
True False Answer Bank Average fixed cost is al way s higher than average variable cost. The VC curve is modeled as a horizontal line. All costs are either fixed or variable. The ATC crosses the MC at the lowest point on the MC The ATC is always greater than or equal to AVC TC= FC + VC +MC The ATC is rising when the MC is below the ATC. MC refers to the change in total cost associated with...
