A factor that decreases marginal cost will decrease average cost, but a factor that decreases average cost will not necessarily decrease marginal cost .
As output increases, average fixed costs
decrease.
True or false for both parts and why
Statement 1. False
Statement 2. True
Explanation: When the average cost falls the marginal cost necessarily falls. So, statement 1 is false.
Fixed cost remains fixed so average fixed cost falls with output. So statement 2 is true.

1)Which of the following statements is true? A. Average fixed cost equals total fixed cost divided by total output. B. Average total cost always falls as output increases. C. Average fixed cost equals average total cost plus average variable cost. D. Average variable cost is always greater than average fixed cost. 2) As output increases, average fixed cost A. remains constant. B. always decreases. C. decreases, then increases. D. increases, then decreases. 3) Average total cost minus average variable cost...

Both b and c You are given the following cost data: Quantity TVC TFC REALITATE 1250 12 25 34 46 25. What can you say regarding the pattern of the cost? a.

Marginal cost is the change in total cost caused by a one-unit increase in output. A) True B) False Average total cost is equal to average variable cost plus average fixed cost. A) True B) False Diminishing marginal returns means that as you combine more units of a variable resource with a set of fixed resources, the marginal product decreases. A) True B) False
When marginal cost of production rises above the average total cost of production, we know that: A. the firm has economies of scale B. average total cost is decreasing C. marginal cost is negative D. average total cost is increasing Average total cost curves are usually depicted as downward sloping at low levels of output because: A. Average fixed costs are declining B. Opportunity costs decline as output (Q) increases C. Average fixed...

Marginal cost is average variable cost when A. equal to; average total cost is minimized B. less than; total cost is maximized C. greater than; average fixed cost is minimized D. equal to; average variable cost is minimized. 6.

The firm holds a patent and is technologically progressive A. Marginal revenue decreases as average revenue decreases B. Marginal revenue is greater than average revenue c. Demand is perfectly price elastic D. Average revenue (or as the output of price) increases the firm increases
3.) As output increases, why do marginal cost and average cost eventually increase, in both the short run and long run.
