Chapter 5: Supply
Across
- 4. the average price that every unit of output sells for
- 5. production period so short that only variable input (usually labor) can be changed
- 6. government payment to encourage or protect a certain economic activity
- 9. extra cost of producing one additional unit of production
- 12. production level where total cost equals total revenue; production needed if the firm is to recover its costs
- 13. changed in the amount offered for sale in response to a price change movement along the supply curves
- 15. a table showing the quantities that would be produced or offered for sale at every possible price in that market at a given point in time
- 18. production period long enough to change the amount of variable and fixed input used in production
- 19. the principle that more will be offered for sale at higher prices than at lower prices
- 21. the sum of variables cost plus fixed cost; all costs associated w/ production
- 24. extra revenue from the sale of one additional unit
- 25. electronic business or exchange conducted over the internet
- 27. responsiveness of quantity supplied to a change in prices
- 28. specific amount offered for sale at a given price; point on the supply curve
Down
- 1. costs of production that do not change when output changes
- 2. total output or production by a firm
- 3. stages of production where output increases at a decreasing rate as more units of variable input are added
- 7. phases of production that consist of increasing, decreasing, and negative returns
- 8. supply cure that shows the quantities offered at various prices by all firms that sell the same product in a given market
- 10. the total amount earned by a firm from the sale of its products; the average price of a good sold times the quantity sold
- 11. a graph that shows the quantities supplied at every possible price in the market
- 14. the amount of product a producer or seller would be willing to offer for sale at all possible prices in a market at a given point
- 16. graphic portrayal showing how a change in the amount of a single variable input affects total output
- 17. maximizing quantity of output-level of production where marginal cost is equal to marginal revenue
- 20. different amounts offered for sale at every possible price in the market; shifts of the supply curve
- 22. a broad category of diced costs that includes interest, rent, taxes, and executive salaries
- 23. extra output due to the addition of one more unit of input
- 26. production cost that varies as output changes; labor, energy, raw material
