1、成本分析第7章成本的经济分析7.1短期The short run:The period in which firms can adjust production only by changing variable factors such as materials and labor but cannot change fixed factors such as capital.固定成本The cost related to fixed factors is called fixed cost(固定成本,不变成本固定成本,不变成本).A firms fixed costs,sometimes
2、called“overhead”(企业一般管理费用企业一般管理费用)or“sunk costs”(沉没成本沉没成本),must be paid even if the firm produces no output,and they will not change if output changes.变动成本The cost related to variable factors is called variable cost(变动成本,可变成变动成本,可变成本本).Variable costs are those which vary as output changes.By definit
