Problem Set 13 Questions


True/False Questions:


1. The typical total-cost curve is U-shaped. 2. If a firm produces nothing, it still incurs its fixed costs. 3. The shape of the total cost curve is related to the shape of the production function. 4. If the marginal cost of producing the tenth unit of output is $3, and if the average total cost of producing the tenth unit of


output is $2, then at ten units of output, average total cost is rising. 5. The marginal cost curve intersects the average total cost curve at the minimum point of the average total cost curve.

7. Which of the following is true of the production function (not pictured) that underlies this total cost function?

a. (i) only b. (ii) and (iii) only c. (i) and (iii) only d. (i), (ii), and (iii)


8. Which of the following statements is correct?


a. If marginal cost is rising, then average total cost is rising. b. If marginal cost is rising, then average variable cost is rising. c. If average variable cost is rising, then marginal cost is minimized. d. If average total cost is rising, then marginal cost is greater than average total cost.
