Use the following two statements to answer this question: I. The average total cost of a given level of output is the slope of the line from the origin to the total cost curve at that level of output.
II The marginal cost of a given level of output is the slope of the line that is tangent to the total cost curve at that level of output.
A) Both I and II are true.
B) I is true, and II is false.
C) I is false, and II is true.
D) Both I and II are false.
Average Total Cost
The total cost of production (fixed and variable costs combined) divided by the number of units produced, representing the per-unit cost of production.
Marginal Cost
The increase in cost resulting from the production of one additional unit of a good.
Total Cost Curve
A graphical representation showing the total cost of producing varying quantities of output, typically sloping upwards as output increases.
