Economics Nov 12, 2020

Use Figure 9.16 to answer questions:

a) IF the firm produces 5,000 units of output with a plant using 10 units of capital, the average cost is $______ and total cost is $______

b) IF the firm produces 5,000 units of output with a plant using 30 units of capital, the average cost is $______ and total cost is $______

c) In the long run planning horizon which plant should the manager use to produce 5,000 units of output and why?

 

 

Expert Solution

a) Average Cost = $0.72

Total Cost = $0.72*5,000 = $3,600

 

b) Average Cost = $0.30

Total Cost = $0.30*5,000 = $1,500

 

c) When planning is done for long term it can be seen from the graph that average total cost ($0.30) is minimum when plant with 30 units of capital should be used.
