Ou can think of the result in any one game as being deborah’s marginal free-throw percentage. based on your previous answer, you can deduce that when deborah’s marginal free-throw percentage is below the average, the average must be . you can now apply this analysis to production costs. for a u-shaped average total cost (atc) curve, when the marginal cost curve is below the average total cost curve, the average total cost must be . also, when the marginal cost curve is above the average total cost curve, the average total cost must be . therefore, the marginal cost curve intersects the average total cost curve
