  • In the long run, all the inputs are variable. Hence, there is no distinction between variable costs and fixed costs. All costs are variable cost in the long run. 
  •  Shape of long run total cost (LTC) remains the same as short  run  total  costs.  Initially,  LTC curve  increases  at  a  diminishing  rate  then  it  tends  to  increase  at  a constant  rate  and  finally  it  rises  at  an  increasing  rate. This  curve  starts  from  the  origin  because  all  the costs  are  variable  cost which varies with output. 
  •  Therefore,  when  output  is  zero,  the  variable  costs  are also zero.
  • Long run average cost is defined as cost per unit of output. Long run marginal cost is the change in total cost per unit of change in output. 
  • The sum of all marginal costs up to certain output level  gives the total cost  at  that  particular  level.  
  • Like  short  run  average  and  marginal  cost  curves,  long  run  average  and marginal cost curves are also U-shaped.
