Cost and Product IV

Totals, marginals, averages, fixed & variable: Ten terms total; tell them apart here. (You will have to play different versions, or play a few times, to find all ten.)

AB
Total CostATC x Q
Total Fixed CostWhen Q = 0, TC = this
Total Variable CostWhen Q = 0, this = $0
Average Total CostThis tells you the size of your plant or factory
Average Fixed CostAs output increases, this always falls
Average Variable CostIt's usually U-shaped, and gets closer and closer to ATC as Q rises
Marginal CostIt rises whenever Marginal Product falls
Total ProductAnother word for this is "output"
Average ProductThis, times the number of inputs hired, equals Total Product
Marginal ProductThe amount of output added when an additional unit of input is hired
