TP: The abbreviation for total product, which is the total quantity of output produced by a firm for a given quantity of inputs. Total product is the foundation upon which the analysis of short-run production for a firm is analyzed. The usual framework is to analyze total product when in a variable input (labor) changes, for a given amount of a fixed input (capital). Two related concepts derived from total product are average product and marginal product.

EXPENDITURE MULTIPLIER: The ratio of the change in aggregate output (or gross domestic product) to an autonomous change in an aggregate expenditure (consumption expenditures, investment expenditures, government purchases, or net exports). The expenditure multiplier is a key component of Keynesian economics and the study of macroeconomics, illustrating how a relatively small change in an expenditure like investment can trigger larger changes in aggregate output. The value of the expenditure multiplier depends on the marginal propensity to consume and other induced expenditures. Knowing the value of the expenditure multiplier can also indicate the amount of policy-induced government expenditures are needed to achieve a given level of aggregate output (presumably full-employment output).

LONG-RUN TOTAL COST

The opportunity cost incurred by all of the factors of production used in the long run (when all inputs are variable) by a firm to produce a good or service, including wages paid to labor, rent paid for the land, interest paid to capital owners, and a normal profit earned by entrepreneurs. Unlike short-run total cost, long-run total cost cannot be separated into fixed cost and variable cost. In the long run, all inputs are variable, so all cost is variable.
