How is Total Product (TP) calculated using Average Product (AP) and the number of workers (WM)?
How is Total Product (TP) calculated using Average Product (AP) and the number of workers (WM)?
Total Product (TP) is calculated by using the formula $TP = AP * #WM$.
What does Average Cost (AC) represent in a business context, and how is it derived?
What does Average Cost (AC) represent in a business context, and how is it derived?
Average Cost (AC) represents the cost per unit of output and is derived by the formula $AC = TC / q$ or $AC = AVC + AFC$.

Study Notes
Formulas for Costs and Revenue
- Total Product (TP): Calculated by multiplying Average Product (AP) and the number of workers (#WM).
- Average Product (AP): Calculated by dividing Total Product (TP) by the number of workers (#WM).
- Marginal Product (MPL): Calculated by finding the change in Total Product (TP) divided by the change in workers (WM).
- Total Cost (TC): Calculated using the formula TVC + TFC = AC * q, where TVC represents Total Variable Cost, TFC represents Total Fixed Cost, AC represents Average Cost, and q represents quantity.
- Average Cost (AC): Calculated by dividing Total Cost (TC) by quantity (q). It can also be calculated as AVC (Average Variable Cost) + AFC (Average Fixed Cost).
- Average Variable Cost (AVC): Calculated by dividing Total Variable Cost (TVC) by quantity (q).
- Average Fixed Cost (AFC): Calculated by dividing Total Fixed Cost (TFC) by quantity (q).
- Marginal Cost (MC): Calculated by finding the change in Total Cost (TC) divided by the change in quantity (q).
- Total Fixed Cost (TFC): Calculated as Total Cost (TC) minus Total Variable Cost (TVC).
- Total Variable Cost (TVC): Can be calculated as Total Cost (TC) minus Total Fixed Cost (TFC). It can also be determined as Average Variable Cost (AVC) multiplied by quantity (q).
- Marginal Product (MPL): Can be calculated by dividing change in Total Product (TP) by change in variable input.
Marginal Revenue and Total Revenue
- Additional Revenue: Calculated by determining the difference between two levels of revenue (TR2 - TR1).
- Marginal Revenue (MR): Calculated by finding the change in Total Revenue (TR) divided by the change in quantity (q).
- Total Revenue (TR): Calculated by multiplying Price (P) and quantity (q)
- Result (Profit or Loss): Calculated by subtracting Total Costs (TC) from Total Revenue (TR)
Additional Formulas
- Average Fixed Cost (AFC): Calculated by dividing Total Fixed Cost (TFC) by quantity (q).
- Average Variable Costs (AVC): Calculated by dividing Total Variable Costs (TVC) by quantity (q).
