| Fixed Costs are those costs which are | Independent of the rate of output |
| Marginal Cost can defined as the | Amount which one more unit of output adds to total cost |

| When a firm doubles its inputs and finds that its outputs has more than doubled, this is known as | Economies of Scale |

| Entry in a purely competitive industry causes | movement of supply curve to the right and increase in market price |
| What is true of a purely competitive industry in long9run equilibrium? | Economic Profit of $0 |
| Resources are efficiently allocated when production occurs at that output at which | Price equals Marginal Cost |
