Unit 5: The Producer
In this unit, you will learn about one of the most important economic agents: the producer. The producer (firm) is responsible for creating the production function (output) and is subject to various cost measures as well as the results of diminishing returns. You will explore these ideas more fully as you delve into the relationship between quantity of input and quantity of output. This unit will discuss how and why a firm's costs may differ in the short run versus the long run.
Completing this unit should take you approximately 8 hours.
