Assume that each unit of labor costs $10 (the wage for a breakfast shift) and that fixed cost is $5. Also assume that there are no ingredient costs or electricity costs (just to make it easier).
Derive the cost curves: MC AVC and ATC. Then sketch them (its best to draw and then submit a pdf or jpeg)
Hint: You don’t have enough detail to do MC for each unit of output, so you need to find it for the increments shown in the table (for example MC for the first 10 breakfasts is $10 or $1 per breakfast in that range so put $1 as MC per unit there) So you are finding MC per unit for units in each range based on the info given.
Fill in columns for MC AVC and ATC and graph those cost curves.

A firm produces output using capital (K) and labor (L). Capital
and labor are perfect complements and 1 unit of capital is used
with 2 units of labor to produce 1 unit of output. Draw an example
of an isoquant. If wages and rent are $2 and $3, respectively, what
is the Average Total Cost?
