  • How is total revenue calculated for a firm?
    Total revenue is calculated by multiplying the price per unit by the quantity of units sold.
  • What is the difference between revenue and profit?
    Revenue is the total money received from sales, while profit is what remains after subtracting costs from revenue.
  • What is an explicit cost?
    An explicit cost is a cost that involves a direct monetary payment, such as wages, rent, or materials.
  • What is an implicit cost?
    An implicit cost is a non-monetary opportunity cost, such as foregone salary or interest, that does not involve a direct payment.
  • How do you calculate accounting profit?
    Accounting profit is calculated as total revenue minus explicit costs.
  • How do you calculate economic profit?
    Economic profit is calculated as total revenue minus both explicit and implicit costs.
  • Give an example of an explicit cost for a bakery.
    Examples include paying for sugar, flour, employee wages, or rent for the bakery space.
  • Give an example of an implicit cost for a business owner.
    An implicit cost could be the salary the owner gave up from a previous job or the interest lost by using savings to fund the business.
  • What is a fixed cost?
    A fixed cost is a cost that does not change with the level of output, such as rent or a salaried employee's wage.
  • What is a variable cost?
    A variable cost changes with the level of output, such as the cost of ingredients or hourly labor.
  • How do you calculate average fixed cost (AFC)?
    Average fixed cost is calculated by dividing total fixed costs by the quantity of output produced.
  • How do you calculate average variable cost (AVC)?
    Average variable cost is calculated by dividing total variable costs by the quantity of output produced.
  • How do you calculate average total cost (ATC)?
    Average total cost is calculated by dividing total cost by quantity, or by adding average fixed cost and average variable cost.
  • What defines the short run in cost analysis?
    The short run is a period in which at least one cost is fixed and cannot be changed.
  • What defines the long run in cost analysis?
    The long run is a period in which all costs become variable, allowing the firm to adjust all inputs.
