Using the following table of costs for a firm, what is the marginal cost of producing the 3rd unit?
Using the following table of costs, what is the firm's average total cost at 2 units of output?
Q | Fixed Costs | Total Variable Costs |
1 | 200 | 50 |
2 | 200 | 100 |
3 | 200 | 175 |
4 | 200 | 275 |
Answer
Using the following table of costs for a firm, what is the marginal
cost of producing the 3rd unit?
MC(n)=TVC(n)-TVC(n-1)
MC(n)=marginal cost of n th unit
TC(n)=Total Variable cost of n units of output
MC(3)=175-100=75
=====
Using the following table of costs, what is the firm's average
total cost at 2 units of output?
average total cost =tottal cost /output
total cost =FC+TVC
TC(2)=200+100=300
ATC(2)=300/2=150
