The Firm And The Cost Of Production
What are''fixed inputs''?
A time frame in which certain inputs cannot be changed is called the short run. These inputs are fixed in the short run and therefore called fixed inputs
What is the difference between total revenue and total cost?
The objective of a firm that produces a good or service is to maximize its profit, which is the difference between total revenue and total cost.
For an economist, what is profit?
For an economist, profit is the difference between total revenue and total cost or more explicitly total economic cost, which includes not only the accounting or explicit cost but also the opportunity cost of all factors
of production.
What is Constant Returns to Scale?
Constant Returns to Scale: An increase in output by the same percentage as an increase in all inputs.
As more labor and/or capital is used what happens to the total cost?
The total cost increases as more labor and/or capital is used.
What is Marginal Product of Labor (MPL)?
Marginal Product of Labor (MPL) :The additional output produced when a small
amount of additional labor is employed with all other inputs remaining the same.
What are different types of costs?
1.Total Cost
2.Fixed Costs
3.Variable Costs
4.Average Costs
What does Implicit Costs mean?
Implicit Costs :Costs a firm incurs when it gives up the next best alternative action or project.
What is Opportunity Cost?
Opportunity Cost: The best alternative that we give up when we make a choice or a decision.
What is Law of Diminishing Returns?
Law of Diminishing Returns :Decrease in the marginal product of a variable input. When additional units of a variable input—typically labor—are added to fixed input—typically capital— the marginal product of variable input firstly increases and then finally decreases.
What is the difference between economic and accounting profit?
An accountant looks at monetary revenues and explicit monetary outlays and calculates profit according to the generally accepted principles of accounting. That is, the difference between total revenue and accounting costs—explicit or out-of-pocket costs. The profit that is calculated by an accountant is named the
accounting profit.
What is The Long Run?
The Long Run:A time frame in which a firm can adjust the usage of all resources if it deems necessary.
For profit maximization, what does the firm have to decide?
For profit maximization, the firm has to decide how much output to produce or supply along with the amount of each input needed to produce that particular level of output.
What is Marginal Revenue?
Marginal Revenue: The additional revenue that a firm earns when it increases production by one more unit
What is Total Revenue?
Total Revenue: The amount of money a firm receives from the sale of output
Once the increase in total revenue and total cost from an extra unit produced are equal, how does it affect the firm?
Once the increase in total revenue and total cost from an extra unit produced are equal, the firm can no longer increase its profit.
What is The Short Run?
The Short Run: A time frame in which certain inputs cannot be changed.
What are Explicit Costs?
Explicit Costs :Costs that are direct expenditures or the price paid plainly for a project.
Compare the short run and the long run in production.
In the shortrun, capital is fixed and the firm can only increase labor to increase production but diminishing returns sets in eventually as discussed earlier. However, in the long run, the firm can change the amount of capital it uses as well. When more capital is used for a given amount of labor employed, output will increase.
What are ''variable inputs''?
The firm, can change certain inputs rather quickly—in the short run and these inputs are called variable inputs.
What is Total Product of Labor?
Total Product of Labor:The amount of maximum output that a firm can produce
with different levels of labor for a given capital amount used.
