ABLE #1 represents data for a perfectly competitive firm (assume labor drives the variable costs). Assume the product sells for
$75.00 (and filling out the table with the correct answers for 10 points):

a. On the same sheet of paper you are submitting to the Week Eight Big Problem PART TWO Dropbox containing your name and a completed TABLE #1, graph each of the average total cost, average variable cost, and marginal cost curves (13 points), and highlight this firm’s supply curve (2 points) and label the two points on the supply curve we know with absolute certainty (4 points). If the price of the output in TABLE #1 is $75.00 per unit, add this information to your graph (3 points). Make sure you label all relevant components.
The filled table is given below. Formula view is given after the table for better understanding. Explanation is after that.
Laborers | Quantity | TFC | TVC | TC | ATC | AVC | AFC | MC | MR | TR | Total Econ profit |
1 | 5 | 500 | 450 | 950 | 190 | 90 | 100 | 950 | 375 | 375 | -575 |
2 | 12 | 500 | 900 | 1400 | 116.67 | 75.00 | 41.67 | 450 | 525 | 900 | -500 |

AFC of one quantity is given. We just need to multiply that with
the quantity to get the total fixed cost.
TVC of 7 labors is given. So for one labor it is 3150/7. Then we
need to just multiply this with the number of labor
TC is sum of TFC and TVC.
ATC is TC/quantity.
AVC is TVC/quantity
AFC is TFC/quantity
MC is current total cost-previous total cost
MR is Current total revenue-previous total revenue
TR is 75*quantity
Second part is not clear. Please post it separately with clear instructions. Thank you.
