a. monopoly profit is maximized. b. marginal revenue equals marginal cost. c. the marginal cost curve intersects the total average cost curve. d. the total cost curve is at its minimum. e. Both A and B
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.
Marginal cost is the additional cost incurred by producing one more unit of a good or service. It is calculated by dividing the change in total cost by the change in quantity produced. Total cost, on the other hand, is the sum of all costs incurred in producing a certain quantity of goods or services. The relationship between marginal cost and total cost is that marginal cost affects the total cost by showing how much the cost increases when producing additional units. When marginal cost is less than average total cost, total cost decreases. When marginal cost is greater than average total cost, total cost increases.
When marginal cost is below average total cost, average total cost tends to fall, as each additional unit produced is less expensive than the average of previous units. Conversely, when marginal cost is above average total cost, average total cost rises, since producing additional units adds more cost than the average. Thus, if marginal cost is falling while it is below average total cost, it could lead to a further decrease in average total cost, while rising marginal cost above average total cost would increase it.

Average Product = (Total Product) / (Labor) Marginal Product(2) = (Total Product)(2) - (Total Product)(1)

as a marginal cost is the cost of the next product produced, if this is less than average cost, when you continue to produce more products the lower marginal cost will have an affect on the average and cause it to fall.
Negative
Equal to MC.
price = marginal revenue. marginal revenue > average revenue. price > marginal cost. total revenue > marginal co
Find (i) the marginal and (2) the average cost functions for the following total cost function. Calculate them at Q = 4 and Q = 6.
