If a firm over invest in net working capital, it incurs cost in the form of opportunity cost.
It's when the MR is not equal to MC. The firm in this case is unable to produce output the equals marginal revenue to marginal cost.
When a firm attains minimum average variable cost, the number of units of labor it is using depends on the average product.
Scale efficiency is the potential productivity gain from achieving optimal size of a firm
Labor intensive refers to the combinations of factor inputs for a firm. If a firm produces a good that is labor intensive it means that the number of units of labor is high relative to the number units of capital (or whatever other factor of production there is). For example, education and teaching is very labor intensive, as the teaching field needs a lot of people to educate and handle the administration of education. It is also not likely that the teaching sector will not shift to ever be capital intensive. Any firm that produces a good that is intensive in any factor is vulnerable to shocks or changes in the cost of that factor. If the price of labor increases it will greatly hinder the ability the firm's ability to produce that good.
Firm equilibrium refers to a situation where a firm achieves a balance between its costs and revenues, maximizing profits. This is attained when the firm produces the level of output where marginal cost equals marginal revenue. It represents the point of optimization for the firm.
A firm calculates its marginal cost by determining the change in total cost when producing one additional unit of a product. Factors considered in determining marginal cost include the cost of additional resources, labor, materials, and production efficiency.
