Economics curves

Cost curve

In economics, a cost curve is a graph of the costs of production as a function of total quantity produced. In a free market economy, productively efficient firms optimize their production process by minimizing cost consistent with each possible level of production, and the result is a cost curve. Profit-maximizing firms use cost curves to decide output quantities. There are various types of cost curves, all related to each other, including total and average cost curves; marginal ("for each additional unit") cost curves, which are equal to the differential of the total cost curves; and variable cost curves. Some are applicable to the short run, others to the long run. (Wikipedia).

Calculus - Marginal cost

In this video we cover the idea of marginal cost. This is simply the derivative of the cost function. We can roughly define marginal cost as the cost of producing one additional item. For more videos please visit http://www.mysecretmathtutor.com

Short-Run Cost Curves (Part 2)- Micro Topic 3.2

In this video I explain how to draw and analyze the cost curves. Most teacher sad professors focus on the per unit cost curves. That included marginal cost, average total cost, average variable costs, and the average fixed cost. Each have a specific shape. It might not be the most exciting
