To produce these 8,000 specialty pizzas, the company incurred variable costs of $24,000 and a total cost of $40,000. I'MaPizzaCo's average fixed cost to produce 8,000 specialty pizzas was

$2 TC = FC + VC.....Here:$40,000 = $16,000 + $24,000, based on the info provided. _______AFC= FC / Q Here AFC = $16,000/8,000 = $2.

diseconomies of scale

_______ tells a firm whether it can earn profits given the price in the market

Average Cost

In order to determine _____, the firm's total cost must be divided by the quantity of its output

average cost

A situation known as ___________ occurs when all production inputs are allowed to expand, but the expansion does not result in much of a change in the average cost of production.

constant returns to scale

If a firm is experiencing _____________________, then as the quantity of output rises, the average cost of production rises.

decreasing returns to scale

If a solar panel manufacturer want to look at its total costs of production in the short run, which of the following would provide a useful starting point?

divide total costs into 2 categories: fixed cost that can't be changed in the short run and variable cost that can be

A firm's ______ consists of expenditures that must be made before production starts that typically, over the short run, __________regardless of the level of production.
