[amp_mcq option1=”its lowest point” option2=”the left of the lowest point” option3=”right of the lowest point” option4=”All of the above” correct=”option1″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is: A. its lowest point.<\/p>\n
The marginal cost curve cuts the average cost curve from below at its lowest point. This is because the marginal cost is always equal to the average cost at the point where the average cost is at its minimum. This is because the marginal cost is the additional cost of producing one more unit of output, and the average cost is the total cost divided by the number of units produced. When the marginal cost is equal to the average cost, the average cost is not changing. If the marginal cost is less than the average cost, the average cost is decreasing. If the marginal cost is greater than the average cost, the average cost is increasing.<\/p>\n
Here is a diagram that illustrates this concept:<\/p>\n

The marginal cost curve is the blue curve, and the average cost curve is the red curve. The marginal cost curve cuts the average cost curve from below at its lowest point, which is the point where the average cost is at its minimum.<\/p>\n
