Result of Quiz 5 N = 55Range = 3 – 10Average = 7.8

6. Costs 6. Costs 6.1. Basic concepts of costs 6.2. Cost minimizing input choice 6.3. Cost curves 6.4. Short-run and long-run costs 6.5. Per unit short-run cost curves 6.6. Shifts in cost curves 6.7. An example 6.8. Applications

6.3. Cost curves Possible shapes of the total cost curve (function): relation between TC and q ( Fig. 6.3 ) (1) Constant returns to scale (2) Decreasing returns to scale (3) Increasing returns to scale (4) Optimal scale: increasing returns to scale followed by decreasing returns to scale A practice question: If TC=50 for Q=20 and TC=90 for Q=40, what is the returns to scale of this production?

6.3. Cost curves Average cost (AC) & marginal cost (MC) (1) What is the AC and what is the MC? AC = TC/q MC = ΔTC/Δq (2) AC & MC curves (functions) ( Fig. 6.4 ) (a) Constant returns to scale (b) Decreasing returns to scale (c) Increasing returns to scale (d) Optimal scale A practice question: If MC<AC, what is the returns to scale?

6.3. Cost curves Average cost and marginal cost (3) Optimal scale: Relationship between AC and MC (4) Optimal scale: Lowest AC input choice When MC < AC, AC is decreasing When MC > AC, AC is increasing When MC = AC, AC is at the minimum level.

6.4. Short run and long run costs Very short run, short run & long run Very short run: K and L are fixed  Q is also fixed Short run: K is fixed and L change  Q can change Long run: both K and L can change  Q can change Input flexibility in the short-run and long run (Fig. 6.5) Short run: K is fixed and L can change Long run: both K and L can change

6.4. Short run and long run costs Short-run total costs: STC = vK* + wL = SFC + SVC Short-run fixed, variable & total cost curves Note that the concept “returns to scale” does not apply in the short run.

6.5. Per-unit short run cost curves Short-run average cost: SAC = STC / q Short-run marginal cost SMC = ΔSTC/Δq SAC and SMC curves Long-run average cost & marginal cost Relationship between short-run and long-run cost curves An example: choosing an ink-jet printer or laser printer Ink-jet: STC = q Laser: STC = q

6.6. Shifts in cost curves Change in input prices (w and v) (1) w & v change in the same proportion -- TC, AC and MC will change -- Expansion path will not change (2) w & v change in difference proportions -- TC, AC and MC will change -- Expansion path will change

6.6. Shifts in cost curves Technology change -- TC, AC and MC will change -- Expansion path?

6.7. An example (continued from chapter 5) -- Production function -- Total cost TC = vK + wL= 5K + 5L -- Isoquant of q = Total cost of producing 40 units of q -- Cost-minimizing input choice for q=40 L* = 4 and K* = 4, TC = Long-run expansion path & costs -- Short-run total cost (STC), short-run average cost (SAC) and short-run marginal cost (SMC)

6.7. An example (continued from chapter 5) -- Comparison of short-run & long-run costs

6.8. Applications
