1 PowerPoint Slides by Robert F. BrookerHarcourt, Inc. items and derived items copyright © 2001 by Harcourt, Inc. Managerial Economics in a Global Economy Chapter 7 Cost Theory and Estimation

2 PowerPoint Slides by Robert F. BrookerHarcourt, Inc. items and derived items copyright © 2001 by Harcourt, Inc. The Nature of Costs Explicit Costs –Accounting Costs Economic Costs –Implicit Costs –Alternative or Opportunity Costs Relevant Costs –Incremental Costs –Sunk Costs are Irrelevant

3 PowerPoint Slides by Robert F. BrookerHarcourt, Inc. items and derived items copyright © 2001 by Harcourt, Inc. Short-Run Cost Functions Total Cost = TC = f(Q) Total Fixed Cost = TFC Total Variable Cost = TVC TC = TFC + TVC

4 PowerPoint Slides by Robert F. BrookerHarcourt, Inc. items and derived items copyright © 2001 by Harcourt, Inc. Short-Run Cost Functions Average Total Cost = ATC = TC/Q Average Fixed Cost = AFC = TFC/Q Average Variable Cost = AVC = TVC/Q ATC = AFC + AVC Marginal Cost =  TC/  Q =  TVC/  Q

5 PowerPoint Slides by Robert F. BrookerHarcourt, Inc. items and derived items copyright © 2001 by Harcourt, Inc. Short-Run Cost Functions

6 PowerPoint Slides by Robert F. BrookerHarcourt, Inc. items and derived items copyright © 2001 by Harcourt, Inc.

7 Short-Run Cost Functions Average Variable Cost AVC = TVC/Q = w/AP L Marginal Cost  TC/  Q =  TVC/  Q = w/MP L

8 PowerPoint Slides by Robert F. BrookerHarcourt, Inc. items and derived items copyright © 2001 by Harcourt, Inc. Long-Run Cost Curves Long-Run Total Cost = LTC = f(Q) Long-Run Average Cost = LAC = LTC/Q Long-Run Marginal Cost = LMC =  LTC/  Q

9 PowerPoint Slides by Robert F. BrookerHarcourt, Inc. items and derived items copyright © 2001 by Harcourt, Inc. Derivation of Long-Run Cost Curves

10 PowerPoint Slides by Robert F. BrookerHarcourt, Inc. items and derived items copyright © 2001 by Harcourt, Inc. Relationship Between Long-Run and Short-Run Average Cost Curves

11 PowerPoint Slides by Robert F. BrookerHarcourt, Inc. items and derived items copyright © 2001 by Harcourt, Inc. Possible Shapes of the LAC Curve

12 PowerPoint Slides by Robert F. BrookerHarcourt, Inc. items and derived items copyright © 2001 by Harcourt, Inc. Learning Curves Average Cost of Unit Q = C = aQ b Estimation Form: log C = log a + b Log Q

13 PowerPoint Slides by Robert F. BrookerHarcourt, Inc. items and derived items copyright © 2001 by Harcourt, Inc. Minimizing Costs Internationally Foreign Sourcing of Inputs New International Economies of Scale Immigration of Skilled Labor Brain Drain

14 PowerPoint Slides by Robert F. BrookerHarcourt, Inc. items and derived items copyright © 2001 by Harcourt, Inc. Architecture of Ideal Firm Core Competencies Outsourcing of Non-Core Tasks Learning Organization Efficiency and Flexibility Location Near Markets Agility in Responding to Market Forces

15 PowerPoint Slides by Robert F. BrookerHarcourt, Inc. items and derived items copyright © 2001 by Harcourt, Inc. Cost-Volume-Profit Analysis Total Revenue = TR = (P)(Q) Total Cost = TC = TFC + (AVC)(Q) Breakeven Volume TR = TC (P)(Q) = TFC + (AVC)(Q) Q BE = TFC/(P - AVC)

16 PowerPoint Slides by Robert F. BrookerHarcourt, Inc. items and derived items copyright © 2001 by Harcourt, Inc. Cost-Volume-Profit Analysis P = 40 TFC = 200 AVC = 5 Q BE = 40

17 PowerPoint Slides by Robert F. BrookerHarcourt, Inc. items and derived items copyright © 2001 by Harcourt, Inc. Operating Leverage Operating Leverage = TFC/TVC Degree of Operating Leverage = DOL

18 PowerPoint Slides by Robert F. BrookerHarcourt, Inc. items and derived items copyright © 2001 by Harcourt, Inc. Operating Leverage TC’ has a higher DOL than TC and therefore a higher Q BE

19 PowerPoint Slides by Robert F. BrookerHarcourt, Inc. items and derived items copyright © 2001 by Harcourt, Inc. Empirical Estimation Data Collection Issues Opportunity Costs Must be Extracted from Accounting Cost Data Costs Must be Apportioned Among Products Costs Must be Matched to Output Over Time Costs Must be Corrected for Inflation

20 PowerPoint Slides by Robert F. BrookerHarcourt, Inc. items and derived items copyright © 2001 by Harcourt, Inc. Empirical Estimation Functional Form for Short-Run Cost Functions Theoretical FormLinear Approximation

21 PowerPoint Slides by Robert F. BrookerHarcourt, Inc. items and derived items copyright © 2001 by Harcourt, Inc. Empirical Estimation Theoretical FormLinear Approximation
