Suppose the average total cost of producing 9 sweaters is $65 and the marginal cost of producing the 10th sweater is $67. Everything else held constant, the average total cost of producing 10 sweaters will be _____ the average total cost of producing 9 sweaters.
a. greater than
b. the same as
c. less than
option a
average cost of producing 9 sweaters = $65
total cost of 9 sweaters = 65*9 = $585
marginal cost of 10th sweater = $67
total cost of 10 sweater s= $585 + $67 = $652
average cost of 10 sweater s= 652/10 = $65.2
so average cost of producing 10 sweaters , $65.20 > average cost of 9 sweaters

At 15 units of output, a firm's marginal cost and average total cost each equal $75. Therefore, assuming 'typically' shaped cost curves, at 16 units of output: Its marginal cost is greater than $75 and its average total cost is less than $75. O Its marginal cost is less than $75 and its average total cost is greater than $75. O Its marginal cost and average total cost are each less than $75. 0 Its marginal cost and average total...
