Average_fixed_variable_and_marginal_costs

Using a spreadsheet, Sal walks through an example of average costs per line of code as a firm hires more engineers. Really good primer to understand what average fixed costs, average variable costs, average total costs (ATC) and average marginal costs (MC) are (and how they are calculated).

Average_costs_ATC_MC_and_marginal_revenue_MR_

In this tutorial, Sal uses the example of an orange juice business to help us understand the ideas of average total cost (ATC), marginal cost (MC) and marginal revenue (MR). We then use this understanding to answer the age-old question, "how much orange juice should I produce?" Finally, we use these ideas to construct a long-run supply curve. A must watch if you're interested in making juice!

Labor_and_marginal_product_revenue

Constructing a demand curve for an individual firm by thinking about how much increment benefit they get from an incremental employee (marginal product of labor (MPL) and marginal product revenue (MPR). We later think about how we can add these "demand" curves to construct a "demand" curve for the market for labor in this industry.

Price_discrimination

This short tutorial explores how a wine business can utilize first-degree price discrimination to maximize economic profit (it uses many of the ideas we've explored in the rest of this tutorial).

Economic_profit_and_opportunity_cost

Economic profit and accounting profit are two different things (the difference being that economic profit takes into account opportunity cost). Confused? This tutorial lays it all out with the example of a restaurant.
