New cards

Short-run average cost curve

curve relating average cost of production to output when level of capital is fixed.

3
New cards

Long-run marginal cost curve

curve showing the change in long-run total cost as output increased incrementally by 1 unit.

4
New cards

Economies of scale

situation in which output can be double for less than a doubling of cost

5
