Determine the long-run average variable cost function for electricity generation. B. Determine the long-run marginal cost function for electricity generation. C. Holding plant size constant at 150,000 kilowatts, determine the short-run average variable cost and marginal cost functions for electricity generation. D. For a plant size equal to 150,000 kilowatts, determine the output level that minimizes short-run average variable costs. E.
