The firm is operating under a fixed scale (fixed factor) of production, and 2. Firms can neither enter nor exit an industry. • In the short run, all firms have costs that they must bear regardless of their output. These kinds of costs are called

These costs are incurred even if the firm is producing nothing. • Variable cost is a cost that depends on the level of production chosen.

Hall Business Publishing© 2002 Prentice Hall Business Publishing Principles of Economics, 6/ePrinciples of Economics, 6/e Karl Case, Ray FairKarl Case, Ray Fair The Shape of the Marginal Cost Curve in the Short Run • The fact that in the short run every firm is constrained by some fixed input means that: 1. The firm faces diminishing returns to variable inputs, and 2. The firm has limited capacity to produce output. • As a firm approaches that capacity, it becomes increasingly costly to produce successively higher levels
