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 happens when the slope of the total revenue curve is equal to the slope of the total cost curve?
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
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.
Discuss equilibrium of a firm under monopoly what are the conditions of equilibrium?
when marginal revenue equal to marginal cost,when marginal cost curve cut marginal revenue curve from the below and when price is greter than average total cost
Why does the marginal cost curve cut through the average variable cost curve exactly at the minimum of the average variable cost curve?
Marginal cost curve cuts average cost (variable or total cost) at its minimum simply to portray the law of variable proportions. The idea is as labor is increased with capital being fixed, productivity increases upto a point and then decreases and later becomes negative. To relate the same productivity with average cost function, the average cost first decreases , reaches a minimum and then increases. Now marginal cost is just a change in the total cost. Logic says that when MC is less than AC productivity is favourable, thus cost is falling. When MC is more than AC productivity is not favourable and thus the rising portion of the cost curve. When MC = AC , the productivity that was reducing the average cost per unit has maximized and from then on starts rising cost(or decreasing productivity). That is the only point where they can intersect.

What is the relationship between marginal cost and average cost curves?
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.

when marginal revenue equal to marginal cost,when marginal cost curve cut marginal revenue curve from the below and when price is greter than average total cost

Identify the characteristics of a perfectly competitive market and explain how the marginal revenue marginal cost average revenue average variable cost average total cost and price curves all interact?
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)
Relationship between marginal cost and average total cost?
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.
Why doe the marginal cost curve go through the lawest point of average cost curve?
as the total average cost is U shape the MC will intersect with U shape at lowest point to indicate the break even point where the company does not make neither profit nor loss. and this minimum point is known as the efficient scale that minimize the losses but does not maximize profit
What is the shape of the marginal-revenue curve if the total-revenue curve is a positively sloped straight line?
it will be parallel to horizantal axis
What is the shape of marginal revenue curve if the total revenue curve have concave shape?
my name is sheela sheela ki jawani
What point does the marginal cost curve crosses the average total curve?
The official site provide a PDF for proving its effectiveness, but to be very true a normal user can't get what the PDF is about, or what the study is been explained. You can actually read Total Curve reviews here on Consumer Health Digest
