question 36

Multiple Choice

The relationship between the long-run total cost curve and the marginal and average cost curves is best described by which of the following statements?

• A)The slope of the total cost curve from the origin to a point on the total cost curve is how you derive the marginal cost curve while the average cost is given by TC/Q.
• B)Marginal cost is MC/Q while average cost is TC/Q.
• C)Marginal cost is derived by dividing total cost by a constant as is average cost.
• D)The slope of the total cost curve at each point is how you derive the marginal cost curve while the slope from the origin to a point on the total cost curve is how you derive the average cost curve.
