MBA- Managerial Economics - CHAPTER 11 OUTPUT AND COSTS

Описание: 🎓 Understanding Output and Costs: Short Run vs. Long Run Explained!
In this in-depth, student-friendly breakdown of Chapter 11: Output and Costs, we explore how firms like Campus Sweaters (a small knitwear company) and major utilities like PennPower make critical production decisions under cost constraints.

🔍 What You’ll Learn:
✅ Key differences between the short run (fixed capital) and long run (all inputs variable)
✅ How total product, marginal product, and average product shape labor productivity
✅ The law of diminishing marginal returns—and why it makes cost curves U-shaped
✅ How to derive and interpret short-run cost curves:
 • Total Fixed Cost (TFC)
 • Total Variable Cost (TVC)
 • Marginal Cost (MC)
 • Average Total Cost (ATC), AVC, and AFC
✅ The link between product curves and cost curves—why MP ↑ means MC ↓
✅ What shifts cost curves? (Hint: technology and input prices)
✅ Building the long-run average cost (LRAC) curve from short-run ATC curves
✅ Economies of scale, diseconomies of scale, and minimum efficient scale
✅ Real-world application: How smart meters help electric utilities reduce peak-load costs by flattening demand!

💡 Perfect for students of principles of microeconomics, AP Econ, MBA prep, or entrepreneurs learning cost management.
