Average cost = Total cost / number of units of a good produced.
So Total cost = Average cost X No. of units of a good produced
derive cost function from production function mathematically, usually done by utilizing mathematical optimization methods.
Find (i) the marginal and (2) the average cost functions for the following total cost function. Calculate them at Q = 4 and Q = 6.
find (i) the marginal and (2) the average cost functions for the following total cost function. Calculate them at Q=4 and Q=6, TC=3Qsquare + 7Q + 12 Avg=25 Marginal cost=24 Total cost = if Q=4 = 88 & if Q = 6 * 162
Marginal cost - the derivative of the cost function with respect to quantity. Average cost - the cost function divided by quantity (q).
Average Variable Cost = Total Variable Cost/ Quantity Average Cost = Average Fixed Cost + Average Variable Cost Average Cost = Total Cost/Quantity

Average Variable Cost = Total Variable Cost/ Quantity Average Cost = Average Fixed Cost + Average Variable Cost Average Cost = Total Cost/Quantity
Not necessarily. Total Cost = Fixed Cost + Variable Cost; Variable Cost=f(Quantity) and if f`(Quantity)>0 it implies that as quantity produced rises variable cost would rise. Average Total Cost=Average Fixed Cost + Average Variable Cost. If initially the Total Cost function is more of an odd function (mostly it is) then the Average Cost will look more like a parabola i.e. it will tend to fall becuase the Fixed Cost gets thin but later that is overtaken by the increase in Variable Cost. But there are cases when Average Total Cost does fall continuously as quantity increases and these involve huge Fixed Costs like say Electric Supply Infrastructure. This is called natural monopoly.
Find the integral of the marginal cost.
Average total cost is the average of all your costs. This is your Fixed Costs and your Variable costs. Average Variable Cost is the average of your costs that can fluctuate.
When average total cost curve is falling it is necessarily above the marginal cost curve. If the average total cost curve is rising, it is necessarily below the marginal cost curve.
true
Average Cost Method: Under this method average cost is calculated by following farmula:Average cost of unit= Total cost of inventory / total number of units
Margianal cost curve crosses the average total cost curve at the lowest point on the average total cost curve to be socially and ecomonical efficient.
