not dependent on the level of goods or services produced by the business. You can see the fixed costs curve at 1-1. Variable costs: Variable costs are expenses that change in proportion to the activity of a business. Variable cost is the sum of marginal costs over all units produced. It can also be considered normal costs. You can see the variable costs curve at 1-1. The total costs equal to fixed costs plus variable costs.(TC=TFC+TVC) 1.0.1.2 Chart Chart

Setting prices equal to marginal cost will generally not recoup sufficient revenue to cover the fixed costs and the standard economic recommendation of "price at marginal cost" is not economically viable. Some other mechanism for achieving efficient allocation of resources must be found. The outcome of this investigation is that (i) efficient

perfectly elastic and price equals marginal revenue. Short-run profit maximization by a competitive firm can be analyzed by comparing total revenue and total cost or applying marginal analysis. A firm maximizes its short-run profit by producing that output at which total revenue exceeds total cost by the greatest amount. <br> <br>A complete firm maximizes profit or minimizes loss in the short run by producing that output at which price or marginal revenue equals marginal cost‚ provided price exceeds minimum

CHAPTER 5: COST THEORY Overview of Huxley Maquiladora Huxley Manufacturing Company‚ a large firm in the defense industry‚ is considering a strategic move to shift production from its California plant to Mexico. Tariff reductions made possible by the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) opened up the potential to enjoy significant cost savings by shifting production south of the Mexican border. Huxley is considering three options. The simplest option is to negotiate a subcontracting
