The marginal cost curve intersects the average variable cost curve at point A. Then, point A is the point where .
Draw average total cost, average variable cost, and marginal cost curves in a single diagram. Also, explain the relationship between ATC and AVC.
OR
Explain the relation between (i) ATC and AVC and (ii) MC and AVC.
Suppose that a firm's total fixed cost is Rs. 100, and the marginal cost schedule of a firm is the following :
Output (in units)1234567Marginal cost (in Rs)10203040506070
(i) Is the MC curve U-shaped ?
(ii) Derive the AVC schedule. Will the AVC curve U-shaped ? Discuss.
