SHAPES OF THE LONG-RUN AVERAGE COST CURVE
Businesses can choose to operate on any average cost curve in the long run
when all costs are variable, but they can only operate on one average cost curve
in the short term (which corresponds to the level of fixed spending they have
chosen). Consequently, the long-run average cost (LRAC) curve is based on a
set of short-run average cost (SRAC) curves, each of which represents a
different amount of fixed costs. More precisely, the long-run average cost curve
will be the least expensive average cost curve over all output levels. Figure 7.10
shows how to construct the long-run average cost curve from a set of short-run
average cost curves. The diagram shows five short-term average cost curves. A
distinct level of fixed expenses is represented by each SRAC curve. SRAC1
might be a small factory, SRAC2 a medium-sized factory, SRAC3 a large
factory, and SRAC4 and SRAC5a very huge and ultra-large factories, for
instance. Despite the fact that this diagram only displays five SRAC curves,
there are most likely an endless number of additional SRAC curves in between.
Because different decisions about capital investment in the present will result in
different short-run average cost curves in the future, consider this family of
short-run average cost curves as representing various options for a company
planning its level of investment in fixed cost physical capital. Businesses can
choose to operate on any average cost curve in the long run when all costs are
variable, but they can only operate on one average cost curve in the short term
(which corresponds to the level of fixed spending they have chosen).
Consequently, the long-run average cost (LRAC) curve is based on a set of
short-run average cost (SRAC) curves, each of which represents a different
amount of fixed costs. More precisely, the long-run average cost curve will be
the least expensive average cost curve over all output levels. Figure 7.10 shows
how to construct the long-run average cost curve from a set of short-run average
cost curves. The diagram shows five short-term average cost curves. A distinct
level of fixed expenses is represented by each SRAC curve. SRAC1 might be a
small factory, SRAC2 a medium-sized factory, SRAC3 a large factory, and
SRAC4 and SRAC5a very huge and ultra-large factories, for instance. Despite
the fact that this diagram only displays five SRAC curves, there are most likely
an endless number of additional SRAC curves in between. Because different

set of short-run average cost (SRAC) curves, each of which represents a
different amount of fixed costs. More precisely, the long-run average cost curve
will be the least expensive average cost curve over all output levels. Figure 7.10
shows how to construct the long-run average cost curve from a set of short-run
average cost curves. The diagram shows five short-term average cost curves. A
distinct level of fixed expenses is represented by each SRAC curve. SRAC1
might be a small factory, SRAC2 a medium-sized factory, SRAC3 a large
factory, and SRAC4 and SRAC5a very huge and ultra-large factories, for
instance. Despite the fact that this diagram only displays five SRAC curves,
there are most likely an endless number of additional SRAC curves in between.
Because different decisions about capital investment in the present will result in
different short-run average cost curves in the future, consider this family of
short-run average cost curves as representing various options for a company
planning its level of investment in fixed cost physical capital.
Businesses can choose to operate on any average cost curve in the long run
when all costs are variable, but they can only operate on one average cost curve
in the short term (which corresponds to the level of fixed spending they have
chosen). Consequently, the long-run average cost (LRAC) curve is based on a

will be the least expensive average cost curve over all output levels. Figure 7.10
shows how to construct the long-run average cost curve from a set of short-run
average cost curves. The diagram shows five short-term average cost curves. A
distinct level of fixed expenses is represented by each SRAC curve. SRAC1
might be a small factory, SRAC2 a medium-sized factory, SRAC3 a large
factory, and SRAC4 and SRAC5a very huge and ultra-large factories, for
instance. Despite the fact that this diagram only displays five SRAC curves,
there are most likely an endless number of additional SRAC curves in between.
Because different decisions about capital investment in the present will result in
different short-run average cost curves in the future, consider this family of
short-run average cost curves as representing various options for a company
planning its level of investment in fixed cost physical capital.
Businesses can choose to operate on any average cost curve in the long run
when all costs are variable, but they can only operate on one average cost curve
in the short term (which corresponds to the level of fixed spending they have
chosen). Consequently, the long-run average cost (LRAC) curve is based on a
set of short-run average cost (SRAC) curves, each of which represents a
different amount of fixed costs. More precisely, the long-run average cost curve

average cost curves. The diagram shows five short-term average cost curves. A
distinct level of fixed expenses is represented by each SRAC curve. SRAC1
might be a small factory, SRAC2 a medium-sized factory, SRAC3 a large
factory, and SRAC4 and SRAC5a very huge and ultra-large factories, for
instance. Despite the fact that this diagram only displays five SRAC curves,
there are most likely an endless number of additional SRAC curves in between.
Because different decisions about capital investment in the present will result in
different short-run average cost curves in the future, consider this family of
short-run average cost curves as representing various options for a company
planning its level of investment in fixed cost physical capital.
Businesses can choose to operate on any average cost curve in the long run
when all costs are variable, but they can only operate on one average cost curve
in the short term (which corresponds to the level of fixed spending they have
chosen). Consequently, the long-run average cost (LRAC) curve is based on a
set of short-run average cost (SRAC) curves, each of which represents a
different amount of fixed costs. More precisely, the long-run average cost curve
will be the least expensive average cost curve over all output levels. Figure 7.10

might be a small factory, SRAC2 a medium-sized factory, SRAC3 a large
factory, and SRAC4 and SRAC5a very huge and ultra-large factories, for
instance. Despite the fact that this diagram only displays five SRAC curves,
there are most likely an endless number of additional SRAC curves in between.
Because different decisions about capital investment in the present will result in
different short-run average cost curves in the future, consider this family of
short-run average cost curves as representing various options for a company
planning its level of investment in fixed cost physical capital.
Businesses can choose to operate on any average cost curve in the long run
when all costs are variable, but they can only operate on one average cost curve
in the short term (which corresponds to the level of fixed spending they have
chosen). Consequently, the long-run average cost (LRAC) curve is based on a
set of short-run average cost (SRAC) curves, each of which represents a
different amount of fixed costs. More precisely, the long-run average cost curve
will be the least expensive average cost curve over all output levels. Figure 7.10

average cost curves. The diagram shows five short-term average cost curves. A

Because different decisions about capital investment in the present will result in
different short-run average cost curves in the future, consider this family of
short-run average cost curves as representing various options for a company
planning its level of investment in fixed cost physical capital.
Businesses can choose to operate on any average cost curve in the long run
when all costs are variable, but they can only operate on one average cost curve
in the short term (which corresponds to the level of fixed spending they have
chosen). Consequently, the long-run average cost (LRAC) curve is based on a
set of short-run average cost (SRAC) curves, each of which represents a
different amount of fixed costs. More precisely, the long-run average cost curve
will be the least expensive average cost curve over all output levels. Figure 7.10
shows how to construct the long-run average cost curve from a set of short-run
average cost curves. The diagram shows five short-term average cost curves. A
distinct level of fixed expenses is represented by each SRAC curve. SRAC1
might be a small factory, SRAC2 a medium-sized factory, SRAC3 a large
factory, and SRAC4 and SRAC5a very huge and ultra-large factories, for
instance. Despite the fact that this diagram only displays five SRAC curves,

Because different decisions about capital investment in the present will result in
different short-run average cost curves in the future, consider this family of
short-run average cost curves as representing various options for a company
planning its level of investment in fixed cost physical capital.
Businesses can choose to operate on any average cost curve in the long run
when all costs are variable, but they can only operate on one average cost curve
in the short term (which corresponds to the level of fixed spending they have
chosen). Consequently, the long-run average cost (LRAC) curve is based on a
set of short-run average cost (SRAC) curves, each of which represents a
different amount of fixed costs. More precisely, the long-run average cost curve
will be the least expensive average cost curve over all output levels. Figure 7.10
shows how to construct the long-run average cost curve from a set of short-run
average cost curves. The diagram shows five short-term average cost curves. A
distinct level of fixed expenses is represented by each SRAC curve. SRAC1
might be a small factory, SRAC2 a medium-sized factory, SRAC3 a large
factory, and SRAC4 and SRAC5a very huge and ultra-large factories, for
instance. Despite the fact that this diagram only displays five SRAC curves,
there are most likely an endless number of additional SRAC curves in between.

planning its level of investment in fixed cost physical capital.
Businesses can choose to operate on any average cost curve in the long run
when all costs are variable, but they can only operate on one average cost curve
in the short term (which corresponds to the level of fixed spending they have
chosen). Consequently, the long-run average cost (LRAC) curve is based on a
set of short-run average cost (SRAC) curves, each of which represents a
different amount of fixed costs. More precisely, the long-run average cost curve
will be the least expensive average cost curve over all output levels. Figure 7.10
shows how to construct the long-run average cost curve from a set of short-run
average cost curves. The diagram shows five short-term average cost curves. A
distinct level of fixed expenses is represented by each SRAC curve. SRAC1
might be a small factory, SRAC2 a medium-sized factory, SRAC3 a large
factory, and SRAC4 and SRAC5a very huge and ultra-large factories, for
instance. Despite the fact that this diagram only displays five SRAC curves,
there are most likely an endless number of additional SRAC curves in between.

in the short term (which corresponds to the level of fixed spending they have
chosen). Consequently, the long-run average cost (LRAC) curve is based on a
set of short-run average cost (SRAC) curves, each of which represents a
different amount of fixed costs. More precisely, the long-run average cost curve
will be the least expensive average cost curve over all output levels. Figure 7.10
shows how to construct the long-run average cost curve from a set of short-run
average cost curves. The diagram shows five short-term average cost curves. A
distinct level of fixed expenses is represented by each SRAC curve. SRAC1
might be a small factory, SRAC2 a medium-sized factory, SRAC3 a large
factory, and SRAC4 and SRAC5a very huge and ultra-large factories, for
instance. Despite the fact that this diagram only displays five SRAC curves,
there are most likely an endless number of additional SRAC curves in between.
Because different decisions about capital investment in the present will result in
different short-run average cost curves in the future, consider this family of
short-run average cost curves as representing various options for a company
planning its level of investment in fixed cost physical capital.

set of short-run average cost (SRAC) curves, each of which represents a
different amount of fixed costs. More precisely, the long-run average cost curve
will be the least expensive average cost curve over all output levels. Figure 7.10
shows how to construct the long-run average cost curve from a set of short-run
average cost curves. The diagram shows five short-term average cost curves. A
distinct level of fixed expenses is represented by each SRAC curve. SRAC1
might be a small factory, SRAC2 a medium-sized factory, SRAC3 a large
factory, and SRAC4 and SRAC5a very huge and ultra-large factories, for
instance. Despite the fact that this diagram only displays five SRAC curves,
there are most likely an endless number of additional SRAC curves in between.
Because different decisions about capital investment in the present will result in
different short-run average cost curves in the future, consider this family of
short-run average cost curves as representing various options for a company
planning its level of investment in fixed cost physical capital.
Businesses can choose to operate on any average cost curve in the long run
when all costs are variable, but they can only operate on one average cost curve
in the short term (which corresponds to the level of fixed spending they have
chosen). Consequently, the long-run average cost (LRAC) curve is based on a

will be the least expensive average cost curve over all output levels. Figure 7.10
shows how to construct the long-run average cost curve from a set of short-run
average cost curves. The diagram shows five short-term average cost curves. A
distinct level of fixed expenses is represented by each SRAC curve. SRAC1
might be a small factory, SRAC2 a medium-sized factory, SRAC3 a large
factory, and SRAC4 and SRAC5a very huge and ultra-large factories, for
instance. Despite the fact that this diagram only displays five SRAC curves,
there are most likely an endless number of additional SRAC curves in between.
Because different decisions about capital investment in the present will result in
different short-run average cost curves in the future, consider this family of
short-run average cost curves as representing various options for a company
planning its level of investment in fixed cost physical capital.
Businesses can choose to operate on any average cost curve in the long run
when all costs are variable, but they can only operate on one average cost curve
in the short term (which corresponds to the level of fixed spending they have
chosen). Consequently, the long-run average cost (LRAC) curve is based on a
set of short-run average cost (SRAC) curves, each of which represents a
different amount of fixed costs. More precisely, the long-run average cost curve

average cost curves. The diagram shows five short-term average cost curves. A
distinct level of fixed expenses is represented by each SRAC curve. SRAC1
might be a small factory, SRAC2 a medium-sized factory, SRAC3 a large
factory, and SRAC4 and SRAC5a very huge and ultra-large factories, for
instance. Despite the fact that this diagram only displays five SRAC curves,
there are most likely an endless number of additional SRAC curves in between.
Because different decisions about capital investment in the present will result in
different short-run average cost curves in the future, consider this family of
short-run average cost curves as representing various options for a company
planning its level of investment in fixed cost physical capital.
Businesses can choose to operate on any average cost curve in the long run
when all costs are variable, but they can only operate on one average cost curve
in the short term (which corresponds to the level of fixed spending they have
chosen). Consequently, the long-run average cost (LRAC) curve is based on a
set of short-run average cost (SRAC) curves, each of which represents a
different amount of fixed costs. More precisely, the long-run average cost curve
will be the least expensive average cost curve over all output levels. Figure 7.10

might be a small factory, SRAC2 a medium-sized factory, SRAC3 a large
factory, and SRAC4 and SRAC5a very huge and ultra-large factories, for
instance. Despite the fact that this diagram only displays five SRAC curves,
there are most likely an endless number of additional SRAC curves in between.
Because different decisions about capital investment in the present will result in
different short-run average cost curves in the future, consider this family of
short-run average cost curves as representing various options for a company
planning its level of investment in fixed cost physical capital.
Businesses can choose to operate on any average cost curve in the long run
when all costs are variable, but they can only operate on one average cost curve
in the short term (which corresponds to the level of fixed spending they have
chosen). Consequently, the long-run average cost (LRAC) curve is based on a
set of short-run average cost (SRAC) curves, each of which represents a
different amount of fixed costs. More precisely, the long-run average cost curve
will be the least expensive average cost curve over all output levels. Figure 7.10

average cost curves. The diagram shows five short-term average cost curves. A

Because different decisions about capital investment in the present will result in
different short-run average cost curves in the future, consider this family of
short-run average cost curves as representing various options for a company
planning its level of investment in fixed cost physical capital.
Businesses can choose to operate on any average cost curve in the long run
when all costs are variable, but they can only operate on one average cost curve
in the short term (which corresponds to the level of fixed spending they have
chosen). Consequently, the long-run average cost (LRAC) curve is based on a
set of short-run average cost (SRAC) curves, each of which represents a
different amount of fixed costs. More precisely, the long-run average cost curve
will be the least expensive average cost curve over all output levels. Figure 7.10
shows how to construct the long-run average cost curve from a set of short-run
average cost curves. The diagram shows five short-term average cost curves. A
distinct level of fixed expenses is represented by each SRAC curve. SRAC1
might be a small factory, SRAC2 a medium-sized factory, SRAC3 a large
factory, and SRAC4 and SRAC5a very huge and ultra-large factories, for
instance. Despite the fact that this diagram only displays five SRAC curves,

Because different decisions about capital investment in the present will result in
different short-run average cost curves in the future, consider this family of
short-run average cost curves as representing various options for a company
planning its level of investment in fixed cost physical capital.
Businesses can choose to operate on any average cost curve in the long run
when all costs are variable, but they can only operate on one average cost curve
in the short term (which corresponds to the level of fixed spending they have
chosen). Consequently, the long-run average cost (LRAC) curve is based on a
set of short-run average cost (SRAC) curves, each of which represents a
different amount of fixed costs. More precisely, the long-run average cost curve
will be the least expensive average cost curve over all output levels. Figure 7.10
shows how to construct the long-run average cost curve from a set of short-run
average cost curves. The diagram shows five short-term average cost curves. A
distinct level of fixed expenses is represented by each SRAC curve. SRAC1
might be a small factory, SRAC2 a medium-sized factory, SRAC3 a large
factory, and SRAC4 and SRAC5a very huge and ultra-large factories, for
instance. Despite the fact that this diagram only displays five SRAC curves,
there are most likely an endless number of additional SRAC curves in between.

planning its level of investment in fixed cost physical capital.
Businesses can choose to operate on any average cost curve in the long run
when all costs are variable, but they can only operate on one average cost curve
in the short term (which corresponds to the level of fixed spending they have
chosen). Consequently, the long-run average cost (LRAC) curve is based on a
set of short-run average cost (SRAC) curves, each of which represents a
different amount of fixed costs. More precisely, the long-run average cost curve
will be the least expensive average cost curve over all output levels. Figure 7.10
shows how to construct the long-run average cost curve from a set of short-run
average cost curves. The diagram shows five short-term average cost curves. A
distinct level of fixed expenses is represented by each SRAC curve. SRAC1
might be a small factory, SRAC2 a medium-sized factory, SRAC3 a large
factory, and SRAC4 and SRAC5a very huge and ultra-large factories, for
instance. Despite the fact that this diagram only displays five SRAC curves,
there are most likely an endless number of additional SRAC curves in between.

in the short term (which corresponds to the level of fixed spending they have
chosen). Consequently, the long-run average cost (LRAC) curve is based on a
set of short-run average cost (SRAC) curves, each of which represents a
different amount of fixed costs. More precisely, the long-run average cost curve
will be the least expensive average cost curve over all output levels. Figure 7.10
shows how to construct the long-run average cost curve from a set of short-run
average cost curves. The diagram shows five short-term average cost curves. A
distinct level of fixed expenses is represented by each SRAC curve. SRAC1
might be a small factory, SRAC2 a medium-sized factory, SRAC3 a large
factory, and SRAC4 and SRAC5a very huge and ultra-large factories, for
instance. Despite the fact that this diagram only displays five SRAC curves,
there are most likely an endless number of additional SRAC curves in between.
Because different decisions about capital investment in the present will result in
different short-run average cost curves in the future, consider this family of
short-run average cost curves as representing various options for a company
planning its level of investment in fixed cost physical capital.
