The utilized amounts of the various inputs determine the quantity of output according to the relationship called the production function. There are four basic resources or factors of production: land, labour, capital and entrepreneur (or enterprise). [ 1] The factors are also frequently labeled " producer goods or services " to distinguish them ...
Marginal cost (MC) is the change in total cost per unit change in output or ∆ C /∆ Q. In the short run, production can be varied only by changing the variable input. Thus only variable costs change as output increases: ∆ C = ∆ VC = ∆ ( wL ). Marginal cost is ∆ ( Lw )/∆ Q. Now, ∆ L /∆ Q is the reciprocal of the marginal product ...
Marginal cost. In economics, the marginal cost is the change in the total cost that arises when the quantity produced is increased, i.e. the cost of producing additional quantity. [ 1] In some contexts, it refers to an increment of one unit of output, and in others it refers to the rate of change of total cost as output is increased by an ...
Production–possibility frontier.

All 150 chapters ...
