Q2.Explain the cost output relationship and nature and behavior of cost curve in the short run with hypothetical cost schedule? The relationship between the cost and output is different at two different periods of time i.e. short-run and long run. Generally speaking, cost of production will be relatively higher in the short-run when compared to the long run. This is because a producer will get enough time to make all kinds of adjustments in the productive process in the long run than in the short run. When cost and output relationship is represented with the help of diagrams, we get short run and long run cost curves of the firm. Now we shall make a detailed study of cost output relations both in the short-run as well as in the long run. Cost-output relationship and nature and behaviour behaviour of cost curves in the short run In order to study the relationship between the level of output and corresponding cost of production, we have to prepare the cost schedule of the firm. A cost-schedule is a statement of variations in costs resulting from variations in the levels of output. It shows the response of costs to changes in output.
