Which of these costs are affected by the level of output produced?Fixed costs do not change with an increase or decrease in production levels, so the same value can be spread out over more units of output with increased production. Variable costs refer to costs that change with varying levels of output. Therefore, variable costs will increase when more units are produced.
When costs that vary with the level of output are divided by the output you have calculated?Marginal cost (MC) is calculated by taking the change in total cost between two levels of output and dividing by the change in output.
What happens to fixed costs when the level of production output reaches zero?Since fixed costs do not change as output changes, the total fixed cost line is flat at the level of fixed cost. If no production takes place, variable costs are zero. As production increases, total variable costs increase at a decreasing rate, since the marginal product for each additional worker is increasing.
What is the best definition of marginal cost?Marginal cost refers to the increase or decrease in the cost of producing one more unit or serving one more customer. It is also known as incremental cost.
