    The average variable cost (AVC) in the short run and long run is ‘U’ shaped. Average variable cost is the total variable cost per unit of output‚ found by dividing total variable cost by the quantity of output. Thus if a firm produces X2 units of a commodity at a total variable cost of TVx2 the AVC of producing these two units of output is given as Average variable cost decreases with additional production at relatively small quantities of output and then eventually increases with relatively

    relationship between the average cost and marginal cost curve? Answer: We usually assume that the Average Cost curve is U shaped The MC curve will intercept the AC curves at its minimum point. When AC is decreasing‚ MC lies below AC - because when MC is below AC‚ producing an extra unit of output will pull down average cots When AC is increasing‚ MC lies above AC - because when MC is above AC‚ producing an extra unit of output will raise average costs Therefore MC will intercept the AC curve at its minimum

    TOTAL PRODUCT CURVE: A curve that graphically represents the relation between total production by a firm in the short run and the quantity of a variable input added to a fixed input. When constructing this curve‚ it is assumed that total product changes from changes in the quantity of a variable input (like labor)‚ while other inputs (like capital) are fixed. This is one of three key product curves used in the analysis of short-run production. The other two are marginal product curve and average

    onomics 1. The chief economist for Argus Corporation‚ a large appliance manufacturer‚ estimated the firm’s short-run cost function for vacuum cleaners using an average variable cost function of the form. AVC= a + bQ+ cQ^2 (the 2 is suppose to be exponent) Where AVC=dollars per vacuum cleaner and Q=number of vacuum cleaners produced each month. Total fixed cost each month is $180‚000. The following results were obtained: Dependent Variable:AVC R-Square

To maximize profit‚ quantity is chosen at the point where marginal cost (MR) is equal to marginal revenue (MR) which is where the two graphs intersect. This is the ideal situation to a profit seeking company. Since price is greater than the Average Total Cost (ATC)‚ for each unit sold the profit per unit is simply the
