of Production
3.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western/ The Market Forces of Supply and Demand • Supply and demand are the two words that economists use most often. • Supply and demand are the forces that make market economies work. • Modern microeconomics is about supply, demand, and market equilibrium.
4.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western/ WHAT ARE COSTS? • According to the Law of SupplyLaw of Supply: • Firms are willing to produce and sell a greater quantity of a good when the price of the good is high. • This results in a supply curve that slopes upward.
5.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western/ WHAT ARE COSTS? • The Firm’s Objective • The economic goal of the firm is to maximize profits.
6.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western/ Total Revenue, Total Cost, and Profit • Total Revenue • The amount a firm receives for the sale of its output. • Total Cost • The market value of the inputs a firm uses in production.
7.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western/ Total Revenue, Total Cost, and Profit • Profit is the firm’s total revenue minus its total cost. Profit = Total revenue - Total costProfit = Total revenue - Total cost
8.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western/ Costs as Opportunity Costs • A firm’s cost of production includes all the opportunity costs of making its output of goods and services. • Explicit and Implicit Costs • A firm’s cost of production include explicit costs and implicit costs. • Explicit costs are input costs that require a direct outlay of money by the firm. • Implicit costs are input costs that do not require an outlay of money by the firm.
9.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western/ Economic Profit versus Accounting Profit • Economists measure a firm’s economic profit as total revenue minus total cost, including both explicit and implicit costs. • Accountants measure the accounting profit as the firm’s total revenue minus only the firm’s explicit costs.
10.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western/ Economic Profit versus Accounting Profit • When total revenue exceeds both explicit and implicit costs, the firm earns economic profit. • Economic profit is smaller than accounting profit.

Production Function and Total Cost: Hungry Helen’s Cookie Factory Copyright©2004 South-Western

Copyright © 2004
South-Western/ PRODUCTION AND COSTS • The Production Function • The production function shows the relationship between quantity of inputs used to make a good and the quantity of output of that good.
14.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western/ The Production Function • Marginal Product • The marginal product of any input in the production process is the increase in output that arises from an additional unit of that input.
15.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western/ The Production Function • Diminishing Marginal Product • Diminishing marginal product is the property whereby the marginal product of an input declines as the quantity of the input increases. • Example: As more and more workers are hired at a firm, each additional worker contributes less and less to production because the firm has a limited amount of equipment.
16.

17.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western/ The Production Function • Diminishing Marginal Product • The slope of the production function measures the marginal product of an input, such as a worker. • When the marginal product declines, the production function becomes flatter.
18.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western/ From the Production Function to the Total- Cost Curve • The relationship between the quantity a firm can produce and its costs determines pricing decisions. • The total-cost curve shows this relationship graphically.

Copyright © 2004
South-Western/ THE VARIOUS MEASURES OF COST • Costs of production may be divided into fixed costs and variable costs.
22.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western/ Fixed and Variable Costs • Fixed costsFixed costs are those costs that do not vary with the quantity of output produced. • Variable costsVariable costs are those costs that do vary with the quantity of output produced.
23.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western/ Fixed and Variable Costs • Total Costs • Total Fixed Costs (TFC) • Total Variable Costs (TVC) • Total Costs (TC) • TC = TFC + TVC
24.
Table 2 The
Various Measures of Cost: Thirsty Thelma’s Lemonade Stand Copyright©2004 South-Western
25.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western/ Fixed and Variable Costs • Average Costs • Average costs can be determined by dividing the firm’s costs by the quantity of output it produces. • The average cost is the cost of each typical unit of product.
26.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western/ Fixed and Variable Costs • Average Costs • Average Fixed Costs (AFC) • Average Variable Costs (AVC) • Average Total Costs (ATC) • ATC = AFC + AVC

South-Western/ Fixed and Variable Costs • Marginal Cost • Marginal cost (MC) measures the increase in total cost that arises from an extra unit of production. • Marginal cost helps answer the following question: • How much does it cost to produce an additional unit of output?

South-Western/ Cost Curves and Their Shapes • Marginal cost rises with the amount of output produced. • This reflects the property of diminishing marginal product.

Copyright © 2004
South-Western/ Cost Curves and Their Shapes • The average total-costaverage total-cost curve is U-shaped. • At very low levels of output average total cost is high because fixed cost is spread over only a few units. • Average total cost declines as output increases. • Average total cost starts rising because average variable cost rises substantially.
37.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western/ Cost Curves and Their Shapes • The bottom of the U-shaped ATC curve occurs at the quantity that minimizes average total cost. This quantity is sometimes called the efficient scale of the firm.

South-Western/ Cost Curves and Their Shapes • Relationship between Marginal Cost and Average Total Cost • Whenever marginal cost is less than average total cost, average total cost is falling. • Whenever marginal cost is greater than average total cost, average total cost is rising.

South-Western/ Typical Cost Curves • Three Important Properties of Cost Curves • Marginal cost eventually rises with the quantity of output. • The average-total-cost curve is U-shaped. • The marginal-cost curve crosses the average-total- cost curve at the minimum of average total cost.

South-Western/ COSTS IN THE SHORT RUN AND IN THE LONG RUN • For many firms, the division of total costs between fixed and variable costs depends on the time horizon being considered. • In the short run, some costs are fixed. • In the long run, fixed costs become variable costs.

South-Western/ COSTS IN THE SHORT RUN AND IN THE LONG RUN • Because many costs are fixed in the short run but variable in the long run, a firm’s long-run cost curves differ from its short-run cost curves.

South-Western/ Economies and Diseconomies of Scale • Economies of scale refer to the property whereby long-run average total cost falls as the quantity of output increases. • Diseconomies of scale refer to the property whereby long-run average total cost rises as the quantity of output increases. • Constant returns to scale refers to the property whereby long-run average total cost stays the same as the quantity of output increases

South-Western/ Summary • The goal of firms is to maximize profit, which equals total revenue minus total cost. • When analyzing a firm’s behavior, it is important to include all the opportunity costs of production. • Some opportunity costs are explicit while other opportunity costs are implicit.

South-Western/ Summary • A firm’s costs reflect its production process. • A typical firm’s production function gets flatter as the quantity of input increases, displaying the property of diminishing marginal product. • A firm’s total costs are divided between fixed and variable costs. Fixed costs do not change when the firm alters the quantity of output produced; variable costs do change as the firm alters quantity of output produced.

South-Western/ Summary • Average total cost is total cost divided by the quantity of output. • Marginal cost is the amount by which total cost would rise if output were increased by one unit. • The marginal cost always rises with the quantity of output. • Average cost first falls as output increases and then rises.

South-Western/ Summary • The average-total-cost curve is U-shaped. • The marginal-cost curve always crosses the average-total-cost curve at the minimum of ATC. • A firm’s costs often depend on the time horizon being considered. • In particular, many costs are fixed in the short run but variable in the long run.
