Step 1
This implies that the input is becoming less productive or less efficient. Now, let's consider the relationship between marginal product and marginal cost. Marginal cost is the additional cost incurred by producing one more unit of output. If the marginal product Show more…

Marginal cost is Select one: a. the change in cost caused by a change in price b. the change in cost caused by a change in output, derived by dividing the change in total cost by the change in quantity of output. c. Total cost - Total Variable cost d. none of the above

Suppose for some firm that average total cost is minimized at q1 units of output. for a monopolistically competitive firm in long-run equilibrium, q1 a. exceeds the level of output at which there is a point of tangency between the demand curve and the average total cost curve. b. exceeds the level of output at which marginal revenue equals marginal cost. c. is also the level of output at which marginal cost equals average total cost. d. all of the above are correct.
