The figure below shows a family of cost curves for a firm. The subscripts 1, 2, and 3 for the SRATC curves refer to different plant sizes.



FIGURE 8-2

Refer to Figure 8-2. What is the difference between the SRATC curves and the LRAC curve?


◦ The SRATC curves show the lowest attainable cost of production at each level of output when all factors are variable in the short run, whereas the LRAC curve shows the same in the long run.
◦ The SRATC curves show the optimal plant size when all factors of production are variable, whereas the LRAC shows the lowest cost attainable associated with each LRAC curve.
◦ The LRAC is an envelope curve, joining the minimum points on all SRATC curves.
◦ For the SRATC curves, one or more of the factors of production is fixed, whereas for the LRAC curve, all factors of production are variable.
◦ The SRATC curves show diseconomies of scales, whereas the LRAC curve shows economies of scale.

The human body's pharmacokinetics are quite varied. Our hair holds onto drugs longer than our urine, blood, or saliva. For example, alcohol can be detected in the hair for up to 90 days after it was consumed. The same is true for marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy, heroin, methamphetamine, and nicotine.

Nearly all drugs pass into human breast milk. How often a drug is taken influences the amount of drug that will pass into the milk. Medications taken 30 to 60 minutes before breastfeeding are likely to be at peak blood levels when the baby is nursing.

Bacteria have been found alive in a lake buried one half mile under ice in Antarctica.

Only one in 10 cancer deaths is caused by the primary tumor. The vast majority of cancer mortality is caused by cells breaking away from the main tumor and metastasizing to other parts of the body, such as the brain, bones, or liver.

Did you know?

Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system destroys its own healthy tissues. When this occurs, white blood cells cannot distinguish between pathogens and normal cells.
