If your cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) after two years of college is 3.0, and your grades for the current semester average 3.5, what will happen to your cumulative GPA? Explain the similarity of this example to the case of marginal cost and average cost.
What will be an ideal response?
If the current semester’s GPA is above the cumulative, then the cumulative GPA will rise. By the same token, if the firm’s marginal cost is above the average cost, the average cost will rise and if MC is below AC, the latter will be falling.
