Average Cost - What is the U shaped cost curve?
Answer
The 'law of variable proportions' causes the cost curve to take a U-shaped form, which is commonly linked to the Marginal Cost (MC) curve. A U-shape is created when graphing the MC curve because it initially slopes downhill, reaches its lowest point, and then rises again.
