    Please bear with me as my only background in Economics is my 1 first Lecture last week at Post Grad level and I'm a mature age student. I'm a little confused when you calculated Marginal Cost. You said "Change in TC($1000) divided by 200 divided by 100= $10. I don't understand that part of your explanation. For me it is easier to calculate Change in TC($7000-$6000=$1000) divided by change in output(200-100=100) That is $1000/100 = $10. Everything else is fantastic.

  • @economicsfun

    Very good question. Since I do not provide any cost information before 100 you can't calculate Marginal Cost before that. The first place you can calculate marginal cost is going from 100 to 200 units.

    I use a variety of different software including photoshop, illustrator, HTML5, Final Cut, GarageBand and a few other products. Each video takes me a long time to create. My rule of thumb is each minute of video takes about 12 hours to create, so a 7 minute video takes me about 84 hours of development time. I hope my videos have a long shelf life.

    Yes you are correct you need both Fixed Cost and Variable Cost. Btw, are some of the other values elsewhere in the worksheet which forces you to work backwards?

  • @economicsfun
    @economicsfun  11 років тому

    Help me understand where in the video you are referring to. The calculation for marginal cost is change in total cost divided by change in output which is (7,000 - 6,000)/(200-100) or 1,000/100 = 10.

    I have created an entire new playlist on Cost Theory (and I hope I simplify the explanation a bit better). I included a link the playlist in the video.
    Please let me know if there are any specific topics in your economics you need help with or clarified too. This helps me understand what topics students are struggling with.
    Good luck with your grad program as well.

  • @economicsfun
    @economicsfun  11 років тому

    Those are really goofy to figure out because you have to work backwards. You can post Messages with attachments on MyBookSucks FaceBook page (see link in video description). If you post it perhaps I can look at it. Remember that AVC is Total Variable Cost divided quantity -- so quantity x AVC = Total Variable Cost. Marginal Cost is the change in Total Cost due to a 1 unit increase....so Total Cost of the last unit minus Marginal Cost gives you the previous total cost...

    In calculating in MC you mentioned it wrong. “200 divided by 100 is equal to 10$?” it should be 200 subtracted by 100. 200 divided by 100 is 2 so when you divided the 2 on 1000 it equal 500.

    Hello ! I have a question... for my worksheet paper they only gave me the output and the total cost and said to calculate the AVC, ATC and AFC... is that even possible since I don't have the FC and VC?

  • @EconAlannah
    @EconAlannah 12 років тому

    You may have Fixed Cost without knowing it. You say you have output and Total Cost.
    Do you have Total Cost where output is zero?
    Although in the example above output starts at 100, if your chart has a zero-output level, then you know what Total Cost is when you send all the variable units home . . . so that's Fixed Cost.
    Simply, if at Q=0 TC=$2357, then FC=$2357
