NS 10.5 (pg 1 of 2) Heating and Cooling Curves What happens when we heat a sample of ice that is initially at -15°C? The addition of heat causes the temperature of the ice to increase. As long as the temperature is below 0°C‚ the sample remains frozen. When the temperature reaches 0°C (the melting point of water)‚ the ice begins to melt. Because melting is an endothermic process‚ the heat we add at 0°C is used to convert ice to water and the temperature remains constant until all the ice

The kinked demand curve assumes that other firms will follow price decreases and will not follow price increases. For instance‚ in an oligopoly model‚ based on two demand curves that assumes that other firms will not match a firm’s price increases‚ but will match its price increases. The kinked demand curve model of oligopoly implies that oligopoly prices tend to

variable cost curve. Average variable cost curve is a curve that graphically represents the relation between average variable cost incurred by a firm in the short-run production of a good or service and the quantity produced. This curve is constructed to capture the relation between average variable cost and the level of output‚ holding other variables‚ like technology and resource prices‚ constant. The AVC curve is ‘U’ shaped because the falling portion of the AVC curve reflects an
