    1:25 Accounting Profit (Revenue - Explicit Costs) != Economic Profit (Revenue - Explicit - Implicit(Opportunity Costs) 2:40)
    Business calculate their potential revenue and their costs production, including implicit costs, to make informed decision.
    Companies in competitive market do not make much profit (no economic profit) 2:44
    Normal Profit - minimum level of economic profit a company needs to stay in business. 3:25
    Total Cost = (Variable Costs - 3:51) + (Fixed Costs - 4:00)
    Average Cost - 4:12
    Average costs fall with more units of production.
    Economies of Scale - 5:20
    Profit Maximizing Rule - 6:10 :- Continue to produce until marginal revenue-6:25 is greater than marginal cost-7:15
    Law of Diminishing Marginal Returns- 8:05
    Sunk Cost - 9:25

      Running cost $0. For example let's say the bus would cost $2 and the taxi would cost $20. The father is saying that he is "saving" more money when he doesn't ride the taxi than when he doesn't ride the bus. And in the moment you might say the you do save more, but in reality you are spending $0 no matter what you run behind. If you spend $0 either way, there is no actual saving when comparing which vehicle you run behind.

    Hey Jacob and Andriene, and all of the crash course team, keep up the fantastic work! I love these videos. Not only are they super accurate, but they're so fun to watch. I have a suggestion though. You guys should do another specific, real life example video, like the 2008 financial crisis. I suggest you do one on Standard Oil and John D. You could highlight so many real world econ concepts with Standard Oil and really demonstrate how these concepts matter -- I see that your next video is on monopolies...
    And Jacob, your side channel is good too, although the way in which the videos are categorized is a bit messy, but that may just be youtube.
    Awesome work!!

    I really enjoy this channel. I have been blessed to help it continue by giving towards its future existence. I run a small business, and enjoy somewhat formally learning the thoughts that have enabled myself to grow into the location in life I currently have placed myself. I believe that this kind of resource can help others that have interest in being in business at a "micro" level understand the reasons for their decisions and enforce positive beliefs. Stan and Hank are a blessed to have spawned a maybe over looked, but very useful resource. To every buddy at Crash Course thank you.

  • @Goabnb94
    @Goabnb94 Před 8 lety +46

    One thing you forget - fixed costs are rarely fixed. Rather, they are fixed to a capacity, a stepping cost. If you buy one pizza oven, you might be able to produce 1000 pizzas an hour, that oven is your fixed cost. But your capacity is limited to 1000 pizzas per hour. So you have to buy a second oven later if your demand rises. Fixed costs therefore increase.

    • @99thTuesday
      @99thTuesday Před 8 lety +10

      True, but they are these costs are considered Fixed in the Short Run which is where a lot of microeconomics takes place.

    • @saeedbaig4249
      @saeedbaig4249 Před 7 lety +4

      True. I would also add that, in the long run, anything and every thing becomes a variable cost.

    • @henryscott487
      @henryscott487 Před 6 lety +2

      yeah your analysis are so true..
      when he bought is first oven he was at the short run with a plant size capacity to produce 1000per hour... as the demand increases in the market since the capacity is utilized already the firm needs to vary its capital in order to meet up with his demand... hence the firm is in the Long run and no Longer in the Short run where cost is fixed

      DontReadMyNameMarvin yes, they will cover ethics there, yet ethics is large enough for its own series. It won't surprise me if they skim over it on philosophy. In fact I think that both economy and philosophy are making the case for CrashCourse Ethics.

The website who has lots of online teachers says that the website reached $10k revenue per month. With considering that the website gets 10% of teaching hours as a commission for himself and 90% is for the teacher, what does $10k mean? It means that the website should pay $9k to the teachers or it means that all the $10k is the website commission and they have already payed the teachers fee? Thank you

    Great video! I'm curious, and this may be more of a business question. But, if we continued with the example of that rainbow pizzeria, how would they determine the ideal number of pizzas to make, say per month? What other factors would go into the decision? The size of the town would determine the market size. The number of competitor pizzerias would cut into profits, especially if their pizza were a higher perceived value. location would be a big deal. Then there's the question of over estimating and losing money on ingredients that have to be tossed. And, so far as allure, possibly having long lines and not enough pizza might drive up demand further? How can they manipulate customers to increase sales? I'd love to see a mathematical equation for this.
