Question

1. A short-run average cost curve is tangent to the long-run average cost curve at the quantity where:

a. long-run average cost is minimized

b. the fixed plant size would have been optimal

c. short-run average cost is minimized

d. short-run marginal cost is equal to average cost

between O and A

Explanation / Answer

1

A.

At the point of tangent between the SR average cost curve and LR average cost curve, yields a long run average cost that is at a minimum level. Output produced at this level, will have lowest LR average cost.
