Race tracks that are road courses (as opposed to ovals)where drivers turn both right and left have large grandstands near the start/finish line and smaller ones at the various turns and twists in the course. On a per seat basis, the costs of providing personnel in the grandstand are less than the costs of providing personnel to the smaller ones. In that case the MC curve would be

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since the per seat cost of providing personnel in the larger grandstand is lower than in the smaller ones, the marginal cost (MC) of adding one more seat to the larger grandstand would be lower than the MC of adding a seat to a smaller grandstand. Therefore, the MC curve would start low and gradually increase as more seats are added, resulting in an upward sloping MC curve.
