   • Long Run Cost Curves

   Because the short run marginal cost curve is sloped like this, mathematically the average cost curve will be U shaped. Initially, average costs fall. But, when marginal cost is above the average cost, then average cost starts to rise. Marginal cost always passes through the lowest point of the average cost curve.

   ATC (Average Total Cost) = Total Cost / quantity

   AVC (Average Variable Cost) = Variable cost / Quantity

   AFC (Average Fixed Cost) = Fixed cost / Quantity

   The long-run cost curves are u shaped for different reasons. It is due to economies of scale and diseconomies of scale. If a firm has high fixed costs, increasing output will lead to lower average costs. However, after a certain output, a firm may experience diseconomies of scale. This occurs where increased output leads to higher average costs. Fo...

   The economies of scale curve is a long-run average cost curve, because it allows all factors of production to change. Short-run average cost curves assume the existence of fixed costs, and only variable costs were allowed to change.

   Interpret graphs of long-run average cost curves and short-run average cost curves. Analyze cost and production in the long run and short run. The long run is the period of time when all costs are variable. The long run depends on the specifics of the firm in question—it is not a precise period of time.

   Can a firm operate on a single average cost curve?

   What is the difference between long-run and short-run average cost curves?

   • We can see this is true by comparing the long-run and short-run average cost curves. While in the short run firms are limited to operating on a single average cost curve (corresponding to the level of fixed costs they have chosen), in the long run when all costs are variable, they can choose to operate on any average cost curve.

   Are short-run average costs constrained by a fixed input?

   • Photo by Geralt, Pixabay License. Short-run average costs are constrained by the presence of a fixed input. So in the long run we can always do at least as well as, and often better than, in the short run with respect to cost. We can see this is true by comparing the long-run and short-run average cost curves.

   What is a short run average cost curve?

   • From Short-Run Average Cost Curves to Long-Run Average Cost Curves. The five different short-run average cost (SRAC) curves each represents a different level of fixed costs, from the low level of fixed costs at SRAC 1 to the high level of fixed costs at SRAC 5. Other SRAC curves, not shown in the diagram, lie between the ones that are shown here.

   Why are short run cost curves U shaped?

   • Short run cost curves tend to be U shaped because of diminishing returns. In the short run, capital is fixed. After a certain point, increasing extra workers leads to declining productivity. Therefore, as you employ more workers the marginal cost increases.

   Why is the economies of scale curve a long-run average cost curve?

   • The economies of scale curve is a long-run average cost curve, because it allows all factors of production to change. The short-run average cost curves presented earlier in this chapter assumed the existence of fixed costs, and only variable costs were allowed to change. One prominent example of economies of scale occurs in the chemical industry.
