Q: In the model described in Q2, what is the best interpretation of the coefficient 100?
or
Q: Which interpretation of the coefficient 100 in the model presented in Q2 is the most accurate?
- The variable costs are 100 USD
- The elasticity of cost respect to quantity is 100
- Fixed costs are 100,000 USD
- Fixed costs are 100 USD
Explanation: The coefficient 100 represents the fixed costs when the quantity produced (qq) is zero. Therefore, the fixed costs in actual dollar amounts are 100×1,000=100,000100 \times 1,000 = 100,000 USD.
