Answer:
B) average total cost must be rising
Explanation:
Marginal cost is the rate at which total variable cost increases when one more unit is produces.
So when marginal cost is larger than average cost, it means that total average costs must be increasing.
For example, we have the following production costs:
- total costs = $100
- units produced = 20 units
- total average costs = $5 per unit
If the marginal cost of producing 1 more unit is $6, then the total costs will be $106 and the total average cost will be $5.05 per unit (= $106 / 21 units).
