1. A firm's Long Run average cost curve

A short description and depiction of a Long Run Average Cost Curve. [Details...]

2. Average Cost

This tutorial discusses average cost, gives some typical uses of the average cost concept, and shows the distinction between average cost and marginal cost. [Details...]

3. Comparative Advantage

The linear production possibilities frontier is shown to be a restraint/constraint and, it explains scarcity and quantitatively defines opportunity cost. The model assumes there are two goods, a fixed resource endowment and a known level of technological expertise in production. [Details...]

4. Cost Concepts

This tutorial introduces economics concepts of total cost, fixed cost, variable cost, and marginal cost. [Details...]

5. Cost Concepts

This tutorial introduces economics concepts of total cost, fixed cost, variable cost, and marginal cost. Firms use these cost concepts for pricing and output decisions. These concepts form the basis for much of cost accounting. [Details...]

6. Cost Function

Click on a point on the total cost function to see more about how to visualize and quantify unit costs (AC and MC) from the total cost function. [Details...]

7. Cost Functions

Click on Lesson 2. This site explains Average fixed costs and average variable costs through graphical illustrations and movies showing the transformations.This tutorial is designed to teach about a very important part of Principles of Microeconomics, the cost functions! These functions are designed to help students understand the costs of production from different perspectives:; cost per unit versus total cost; explicit vs. implicit cost; deriving fixed, variable and total cost per unit; deriving average fixed, average variable and average total cost per unit; understanding and creating graphs for all the cost curves. [Details...]

This page describes the concept of production possibility frontiers with interactive tutorials. [Details...]

17. Tutorial: A Producer Optimum

[Details...]

18. Tutorial: Production Possibilities and the Opportunity Cost

Interactive tutorial on how changes in production conditions or opportunity costs shift the Production Possibility Frontier. [Details...]
