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

Supply Curve Shifts Student Feb 17‚ 2013 Principles of Microeconomics The Supply Curve: Price is usually a major factor in the quantity supplied to the market. For a particular good with all other factors held constant a table could be constructed of price and quantity supplied based on observed data. This table is called a supply schedule‚ example: Supply Schedule Price Quantity Supplied 1 12 2 28 3 42 4 52 5 60 By graphing this data the supply curve is created:

services. The overall “price level” in this particular situation inflated; increased. You can construct a measure of the “change in the price level” by looking at the price of the goods each month over the course of the entire year. Take all the data and graph it to determine any trends. The low catch of fish means there is a low supply of fish and therefore the demand increases which accounts for the increase in price. The additional information that is needed to construct a measure is why the meat price
