Average total cost of producing 100 units of output is $5. If the marginal cost of producing the 101st unit is $6, then average total cost of 101 units is less than $5.
Average Total Cost
The total cost of production divided by the total quantity produced.
Marginal Cost
Marginal cost is the cost incurred by producing one additional unit of a product, highlighting the concept of incremental spending in production.
- Implement the notion of marginal cost and examine its connection with average costs and total cost.
- Analyze the relationship between the curves of marginal and average costs, particularly at their points of convergence.
