Describe the behavior of average fixed cost, average variable cost, average total cost, and marginal cost as the level of output produced increases
Average variable cost curve and average total cost curve both are u shaped. Marginal cost curve is also u shaped what the minimum of marginal cost appears at a level of output which is less than the the output level for average cost and average variable cost that minimises them.
As the level of output is increased, marginal cost average total cost and average variable cost first decline, reach there minimum level and then start rising again, following increasing returns initially and diminishing returns in later stages
Average fixed cost however continues to decline because fixed cost remains unchanged and quantity continues to increase.

QUESTION 32 If marginal cost is rising average variable cost must be falling average fixed cost must be rising marginal product must be falling marginal product must be rising QUESTION 33 Diminishing marginal product suggests that additional units of output beccome less costly as more output is produced marginal cost is upward sloping the firm is at full capacity adding additional workers willl lower total cost
