            What is meant by cost ?

cost is the total expenditure incurred in a producing a commodity.

                 Type of cost

i) Explicit Cost

ii) implicit cost

iii) Opportunity cost

iv) Total cost

V) Average cost

vi) Marginal Cost

           What is meant by explicit cost ?

Explicit cost means that which is incurred on the resources that a firm acquires from outside. 

         What is meant by implicit cost ?

Implicit cost means that all inputs are not bought in the market. The producer also uses proprietary habits in the production process. this is called implicit cost

      What is meant by opportunity cost ?

The opportunity cost of producing a good is the quantity of the good that is sacrificed.

      What is meant by total cost ?

Total cost means the sum total of fixed cost and variable cost according to the level of production.

       TC=TFC+TVC

   What are the types of total cost ?

There are two types of total cost.

Total Fixed Cost: It is the cost which does not change with the new change in the level of output.

Total Variable Cost: It is the cost which increases when the level of output increases and decreases when the level of output decreases. 

      What is meant by average cost ?

 Average cost means the symbolic unit cost of the output produced.

   What are the types of average cost ?

There are two types of average cost.

Average Fixed Cost: Is the fixed cost per unit of output produced.

Average Variable Cost : Is the variable cost per unit of output produced.

What is meant by marginal cost?

Marginal cost refers to the additional cost of producing one additional unit of output. 

Relationship between Average, Marginal Cost and Total Cost

Table: Relationship between Average, Marginal Cost and Total Cost







• When AC is falling, MC<AC

                 • When AC is increasing, MC>AC

                 •When AC is constant then MC=AC

         •MC is always to the left of AC and intersects AC at its minimum point.

How many types of production function ?|what is relationship between total product and marginal product ?|what is production function ?

    What is meant by production function ? This relationship between physical inputs (such as 20 units of capital and 15 units of labor) and physical output (200 units of goods produced) is called the production function.  How many types of production function ? There are two types of production function: i) Short run production function  ii)   Long run production function    short run production function  It is a production function in which factor proportions change with a change in the level of output.  long run production function  It is the production function in which the factor proportion does not change with the change in the level of output.                   fixed and variable factors         Fixed Factors:  Fixed factors are those factors whose use does not change with the change in output.  eg: machine Variable Factors:  Va...
