Production Costs Flashcards
What is profit?
The difference between the total revenue, and total costs received from sale of outputs
How do you calculate profit?
Profit = total revenue - total costs
What are production costs? And what are the two types of production costs?
The payments that the front page during the production process.
1. Variable costs.
2. Fixed cost.
What are fixed costs?
Fixed costs are the costs of production that do not vary as output to changes for example, rent or insurance fees
What are variable cost?
Variable costs are costs of production that’s very as output changes for example, cost of raw materials
What are total costs?
the sum of fixed costs, and variable costs
Defined the law of diminishing returns
the law of diminishing returns states that it has more units of the variable factor or added to the fixed factors, a change in total output, well at first increase, and then decrease
When does increasing returns occur?
When a foam increases its very big factor of production, to a given fix the factor of production, and as a result, marginal, product increases
When does diminishing returns occur?
when a firm increases is variable factor of production to a given fix factor of production, and as a result, marginal product decreases, but value is still positive
When does decreasing returns occcur
When a firm increases its variable factor of production to a given fix factor, and as a result, marginal product falls to a negative value
