From the following information on costs of production, calculate Total Fixed Cost, Total Variable Cost, Average Variable Cost, and Marginal Cost.
I also need to graph the total cost curves as well as the average and marginal cost curves.
TC = TFC + TVC so for Q=1 TC=30, assume TFC=20 so TVC=10
(20+10=30); continue with logic about
FC, it is independent of output, so it would be an incremental 20
with each additional level of output, TVC for each Q is calculated
with simple math TVC=TC-20
Please help me complete the spreadsheet
Qty | Total Cost | Total Fixed Cost | Total Variable Cost | Average Variable Cost | Marginal Cost |
1 | 30 | ||||
2 | 75 | ||||
3 | 150 | ||||
4 | 255 | ||||
5 | 380 | ||||
6 | 525 | ||||
7 | 688 | ||||
8 | 840 | ||||
9 | 1010 | ||||
10 | 1200 |
Table can be filled as follows:
Qty | Total Cost | Total Fixed Cost | Total Variable Cost = TC-TFC | Total Variable Cost | AVC = TVC/Q | Average Variable Cost | MC = TCQ -TC(Q-1) | Marginal Cost |
1 | 30 | 20 | =30-20 | 10 | =10/1 | 10.00 | ||
2 | 75 | 20 | =75-20 | 55 | =55/2 | 27.50 | =75-30 | 45 |
3 | 150 | 20 | =150-20 | 130 | =130/3 | 43.33 | =150-75 | 75 |
4 | 255 | 20 | =255-20 | 235 | =235/4 | 58.75 | =255-150 | 105 |
5 | 380 | 20 | =380-20 | 360 | =360/5 | 72.00 | =380-255 | 125 |
6 | 525 | 20 | 525-20 | 505 | =505/6 | 84.17 | =525-380 | 145 |
7 | 688 | 20 | =688-20 | 668 | =668/7 | 95.43 | =688-525 | 163 |
8 | 840 | 20 | =840-20 | 820 | =820/8 | 102.50 | =840-688 | 152 |
9 | 1010 | 20 | =1010-20 | 990 | =990/9 | 110.00 | =1010-840 | 170 |
10 | 1200 | 20 | =1200-20 | 1180 | =1180/10 | 118.00 | =1200-1010 | 190 |
Graph is as follows:
