Summary:
This video shows how to calculate various forms of cost (total fixed cost, total variable cost, average variable cost, average total cost, average fixed cost, and marginal cost) based on total cost information and shows graphically what these costs look like. The problem is taken from Essentials of Economics, 2nd Edition, by Paul Krugman, Robin Wells, and Kathryn Graddy, and is Ch. 6 problem #4. See the "Practice Problems" playlist for an archive of daily practice problems.
