Which one of these involves movement along a stable supply curve caused by a change in price only? Change in Supply or Change in Quantity Supplied? Change in Quantity Supplied.
A production period long enough to change the amount of both variable and fixed input costs used in producing products. Long Run
The responsiveness of quantity supplied to a price change. Supply Elasticity
This is found by adding together all variable and fixed costs associated with production. Total Cost
The broad category of fixed costs that includes interest paid on loans, rent, taxes, and executive salaries. Overhead
The extra revenue (money) from the sale of one more unit of output. Marginal Revenue
A government payment to a producer (supplier of products) to encourage or protect certain economic activity. Subsidy
Electronic business or exchange conducted over the internet. E-Commerce
A production period so short that only variable inputs (usually costs like labor) can be changed. Short Run
What does marginal mean in economics? Next Unit. For example: Marginal Cost, Marginal Revenue, or Marginal Product.
The extra output due to the addition of one more unit of input (like a worker or labor). Marginal Output
Stage of production where Marginal Output is increasing. Increasing Returns
Stage of production where Marginal output is negative. Negative Returns
The costs of production that do not change when output changes. Fixed Costs
A graphic portrayal showing a change in the amount of a single variable input (or cost) affects total output. Production Function
The extra-cost of producing one additional unit of output.. Marginal Cost
The production cost that varies as output changes. Variable Costs
The level of production where marginal cost is equal to marginal revenue. Profit Maximizing Quantity of Output
The total output or production by a firm (company). Total Product
The average price that every unit of output sells for. Average Revenue
The total amount earned by a company (a firm) from the sale of products. It is the average price of a good times the quantity sold. Total Revenue
The stage of production where output increases at a decreasing rate as more units of inputs of variable inputs are added. Diminishing Returns
The phases or stages of production that consist of increasing, decreasing, and negative returns. Stages of Production
The production level where total costs equals total revenue. It is the production level needed if the company is to recover its costs. Break-Even Point
