1 What is a Good or Service But what is an output market, or what is a good or service? In economic terms, a good or service is defined by its what, where and when. A lecture on the economic theory of cost is a service (no comment necessary), but we must also specify where this lecture will be delivered and when. The same lecture delivered at another location or time is a distinct economic service. Similarly, a Corvette produced this month is economically distinct from a Corvette produced next month, just as a Corvette offered for sale in Los Angeles is distinct from one offered for sale in Miami.

While adequate for many purposes, this approximation will not be sustainable in all that follows, so we proceed from the beginning with the correct definition. 1 is based: C(q; P ) = 200q − 18q 2 + q 3 (for some specific factor price specification). For q > 0, average cost is C(q; P )/q = 200−18q +q 2 . 1, for selected output quantities. 1. Now suppose q = 9. What is the incremental cost of one additional unit at this point? C(10; P ) − C(9; P ) = 1, 200 − 1, 071 = 129. Likewise, what is the incremental cost of ∆ = 3 more units, if q = 5?

T. 4) i=1 q ∈ f (z) 3 Rounding is a recurring problem with this type of production function. 667. 40 3. Economic Foundations: The Multiproduct Firm Repeating this process for all possible output quantities gives us the firm’s cost function, denoted C(q; P ). As usual we carry along explicit recognition of the factor prices to remind us that the mix of factors for any given output will, in general, depend on factor prices. Also, as noted in the single product case, once these factors are specified, output is the sole explanatory variable in understanding the firm’s cost.
