    Thank you very much for your compliments. I use a variety of different software including photoshop, illustrator, HTML5, Final Cut, GarageBand and a few other products. Each video takes me a long time to create. My rule of thumb is each minute of video takes about 12 hours to create, so a 7 minute video takes me about 84 hours of development time.

    Thanks Jenile, appreciate the feedback. It is often hard for me to decide how dark or light something is because if I know what is there it is easy for me to see. I will definitely take your advice and make things a bit darker.

    Omg I finally understand the concept after my textbook failed and my professor failed at explaining the concept. Thank you so much for the animation visuals and slow explanation of the cost theory it has tremendously supported me in understand the theory.

    Well, you can have economies of scale at any point in time. Typically the idea of cost theory is taught in two parts long run and short run and in reality they blend together. A more important concept from the video (related to economies of scale) are diminishing marginal returns.

    Economies of scale can be caused by other things other than adding equipment (impacts Long Run Average Cost). Labor usage does impact economies of scale too. I am not sure I understand your second question. Marginal Cost is the change in Total Variable Cost and Average Variable Cost is Variable Cost/Quantity. At larger levels of Quantity Average Cost is impacted less than marginal cost. The second video on this playlist (Cost Theory) may help you understand.

    Do you ever draw in the Average Fixed Cost curve or is it unnecessary? You mention at 7:15 that you draw the Average Fixed Cost curve, but you end up drawing the Total Fixed Cost curve (which one did you actually mean may I ask?). The AFC curve would be downward sloping right and would resemble kind of a linear line? (So although Total Fixed Cost is a horizontal line or perfectly elastic, average fixed cost is not as quantity increases) And may I ask why do you call the average variable cost a less interesting line (whereas total variable cost is not?)? Do you use it less often as a result or what do you mean by that? Thank you so much for the excellent videos

    Thank you so much for your explanations! They are the best explanations that I saw in the Internet!!! And my textbook does suck. No really, I wish my textbook explains everyhing like you. It does not say about many things that you are explaining and the textbook's explanations are very messy often, and there are many examples which are large and not clear.
