What is happening to average variable costs when they equal marginal costs?
When average variable costs equal to the average marginal cost, the average variable cost will be at the minimum point. i.e. lowest cost
When the marginal cost is less than the average variable cost the average variable cost will?
decrease. Think about it this way, if you have a room full of people and you get their average height(average variable cost), and now each person that walks into the room(marginal cost) is shorter than the average, the average will drop.
Marginal versus variable costing?
Variable cost refers to the TOTAL variable cost of all units, whereas marginal cost is the variable cost of the last unit only. Variable cost is the sum of all the individual marginal costs. The derivative of the Variable Cost is the Marginal Cost. The integral of the Marginal cost is the Variable Cost.
At what point does the marginal cost (MC) curve intersect the average variable cost (AVC) curve?
The marginal cost (MC) curve intersects the average variable cost (AVC) curve at the minimum point of the AVC curve.
What is the relationship between Average variable cost Average fixed cost and marginal cost?
we can subtract the AVC and we will get the MC

Why average cost increase when marginal cost is increasing?
Marginal cost = derivative of (Total cost/Quantity) Where Total cost = fixed cost + variable cost Marginal cost = derivative (Variable cost/Quantity) (by definition, fixed costs do not vary with quantity produced) Average cost = Total cost/Quantity The rate of change of average cost is equivalent to its derivative. Thus, AC' = derivative(Total cost/Quantity) => derivative (Variable cost/Quantity) = MC. So, when MC is increasing, AC' is increasing. That is, when marginal cost increases, the rate of change of average cost must increase, so average cost is always increasing when marginal cost is increasing.
Does marginal cost curve always intersect the average cost curve at the average cost curve's lowest point?
When the marginal cost is below the average total costs or the average variable costs,then the AC would be declining.When marginal cost is above the average cost then the average cost would be increasing.Therefore the marginal cost should intersect with the average cost at the lowest point in order to pull the average cost upwards.
What happens to marginal cost after the point where it equals average variable cost?
Marginal Cost will keep increasing (have upward slope) because of the principle of diminishing marginal returns. The MC curve above the its intersection with AVC is the Supply Curve *because below minimum AVC, the firms stops production)
Is marginal cost the same with variable cost?
Marginal cost and variable cost are related but not the same. Marginal cost refers to the additional cost incurred to produce one more unit of a good or service, while variable cost encompasses all costs that change with the level of production, such as materials and labor. Marginal cost can be derived from variable costs, but it specifically focuses on the incremental cost of increasing production.
How do you find marginal average cost?
Marginal cost comes from the costs of producing just one more of something.
In the short run if marginal product is at its maximum what happens to average cost?
it is at its minimum
What is the difference between average costs and marginal costs?
This is the economic distinction equivalent to fully absorbed cost of product and variable cost of product. Average cost is total cost divided by number of units. Marginal cost is the cost to produce the next unit (or the last unit
