The cost curves best tells us the relationship between the marginal cost and average total cost. The average fixed cost (AFC) curve will decline as additional units are produced, and continue to decline.
Marginal Benefit curve is usually downward sloping, while Marginal Cost is usually upward sloping.
Because in Pure Competition, Demand equals Price, and Price equals Marginal Revenue;hence, Demand equals Marginal revenue.
how diminishing returns influences the shapes of the variable-cost and total-cost curves
Characteristics of Perfectly Competitive Market: Free entry / exit (no barriers to entry) Firms produce homogenous products There is perfect knowledge of the market Many Seller and Buyers Seller is a passive price taker Marginal Revenue Curve = Average Revenue = Price = Demand Curve for individual firm. The curve is constant Marginal Cost Curve intersects both Average Variable Cost and Average Total Cost curves at their minimum point Profit Maximisation output level is when MR = MC (find intersect point and draw line down to Q axis)

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.
Because in Pure Competition, Demand equals Price, and Price equals Marginal Revenue;hence, Demand equals Marginal revenue.

The marginal cost of an additional unit of output is the cost of the additional inputs needed to produce that output. More formally, the marginal cost is the derivative of total production costs with respect to the level of output. Marginal cost and average cost can differ greatly. For example, suppose it costs $1000 to produce 100 units and $1020 to produce 101 units. The average cost per unit is $10, but the marginal cost of the 101st unit is $20 The Econ Model applications Perfect Competition and Monopoly emphasize the roles of average cost and marginal cost curves. The short movie Derive a Supply Curve (40 seconds) shows an excerpt from the Perfect Competition presentation that derives a supply curve from profit maximizing behavior and a marginal cost curve.

It is assumed that they are producing on the lowest point of their Average Total Cost curves, therefore producing the maximum possible output from available inputs and so productively efficient. They are also allocatively efficient because Price is equal to Marginal Cost.
why some long-run average cost curves are steeper on the downward side than others.
A river curves back and forth because it becomes wider then the river erodes land on one side and deposits sediments along the other side this causes the river to develop curves P.S. i'm 9!
Marginal cost is the cost incurred in producing an additional unit of a product. It is the cost per unit of a product as against the total cost. It is therefore the variable cost of producing one more unit of a product.Average total cost is the total cost of production at an activity level. it is the total cost of divided by the total production.Whiles marginal cost shows the cost incurred in producing an additional unit of a product, average cost shows the total cost of production per unit.Just a small addition to this thought:Think of the marginal cost as being at a point in time, whereas the average total cost is calculated over a period of time. As a result, marginal cost at any given point may be higher or lower than an average total cost.Quick example:ABC manufactures a product they call Widget AWidget A sells for a price of $20ABC sells 1,000 units of Widget AFixed costs for this production run are $5,000, regardless of # of units soldVariable costs are $12 per unitGross Revenues $20,000Fixed Cost Expense $ 5,000Variable Cost Expense $12,000Gross Profit $ 3,000Breakeven # of units can be calculated as follows:20x = 5000 + 12x. Solving for x gives 625 units to break even. At this point the Average Transaction Cost equals the selling price of $20 per unit. As each additional unit is produced the ATC will decrease since the only additional cost is the variable cost of $12 per unit. Therefore, in this very simple example, the MARGINAL COST of producing each unit OVER 625 would be the $12 variable cost expense. In the example above, at 1,000 units the Average Transaction Cost is $17 ($5 per unit for Fixed and $12 per unit for Variable), which is a decrease from the $20 ATC at break even.
