The short run total cost of a firm is given by: SRTC en e +4q+ 432K where k is fixed. Suppose that the firm wants to produce q=36. The economically efficient level of Kis:
The economically efficient level of K is 3
By substituting the different value of k, ATC can be found as below to get minimum ATC which represents the most efficient level of output and the value of k is 3.
