Show

Short run in economics

Period where at least one factor of production is fixed

Fixed costs

Costs that don't change with output level in short run

Variable costs

Costs that change as output level changes

Total cost formula

TC=TFC+TVCTC = TFC + TVC

Average total cost formula

ATC=AFC+AVCATC = AFC + AVC

Long-run costs characteristic

All costs are variable (all factors can be changed)

Marginal cost (MC)

Additional cost of producing one more unit of output

Average fixed cost formula

AFC=TFCQAFC = \frac{TFC}{Q}

Spreading of overheads

Fixed costs spread over more units as output rises

Where MC intersects ATC

At the minimum point of the ATC curve
