    Marginal cost in the short run is the incremental change in the variable cost for every additional unit of output. In the short run, assume that only the labor input is variable and capital is fixed. This means marginal cost (MC) is related to the marginal productivity of labor (MPL). As your per unit labor contributes less and less additional productivity, your incremental cost per unit output will necessarily increase because you'll need to hire more and more people to keep on producing. :)

    Hi Mr. Khan,
    I really admire your work!
    Just a question about this video's content: Shouldn't the vertical intercept of both MR and the D curve become lower when both curves/lines shift to the left? (It's how Pindyck and Rubinfeld graphed it in their book) :)

    why is the AR or demand curve not becoming more elastic i.e flatening out with the entry of new firms?

  • @LaureanoLuna
    @LaureanoLuna 11 років тому +1

    03:06 I'm inclined to think ATC should intersect MC where MC intersects Demand. Where MC intersects Demand would lie the perfect competence equilibrium with no economic profit: MC=P = ATC.
    Or what am I missing?

    • @domlee5902
      @domlee5902 5 років тому +1

      Laureano Luna I know this is an old comment but maybe someone still needs an answer. For a monopolistic competitor to be in long-run equilibrium, ATC must intersect demand directly above MR=MC, and this will NOT be it’s lowest point. Here, the firm will be making a normal profit.

  • @nthperson
    @nthperson 10 років тому +2

    What about the market for land and land-like assets with an inelastic supply curve? In any region of the world some portion of the available supply of land is not available because of topography. Some is set aside by public policy for parks and recreation, for roads and public infrastructure. Privately held land is almost everywhere held by a small percentage of the population, particularly when land value is the test. Is this not a circumstance of a market plagued by monopolistic pressures?

    Demand curve should shift then slope remains the same and only intercept changes. You have done the opposite...
