The engineering cost curve are derived with the help of engineering production function . The productionfunction specified the techniques of production, the embodiment of labor and capital etc. It means that each production method is divided into sub activities corresponding to the various physical and technical phases of production for the particular commodity. Engineering production method/function are characterised by a limited number of methods of production. The production iso-quants are kinked reflecting that the factor subsititutablity is limited. It means that the factor of production can be substituted is only possible at kinked of iso-quants.

What is the Difference between economics and engineering economics?

Economics is the theory of how to best divide resources up between between agents to maximize their utility. Engineering economics would be the theory of how to design a product in the most cost-efficient and reliable way.


6 If the average total cost curve is falling what is necessarily true of the marginal cost curve If the average total cost curve is rising what is necessarily true of the marginal cost curve?

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.


What are the characteristics of engineering economics?

1. Time value of money 2. Production of size and cost 3. Make or Buy principle 4. Rate if depression 5. Demand & supply including cost 6. Energy prices & Processing cost 7. Economics of alternative method of manufacturing 8. Economics of rule By Asik Ali S


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.


Why do engineer need to study economics?

Note: the following is my opinion but is based on facts. Engineering is a great applied science that studies how to make solutions to practial, scientific problems. While engineering deals with how to solve these problems, economics is the complementary science of how to optimise these solutions. Economics analyses production mathematically and statistically. For engineering, microeconomics is the invaluable tool to determine optimisation with given resource constraints (mostly by Lagrangian multi-variate methods). Game theory analysis can help determine incentive structures engineering systems should take to make proper human actions. The best use of economics in engineering is to apply these solutions to different engineering solutions in order to achieve Pareto efficiency, or economic, efficiency (ironically, Pareto was an engineer himself). The best solutions in engineering are not always the best-designed or the ones of highest quality but also the ones which are cost-effective and effiicent given constraints. Economics can master these concepts.
