Required:
Use the results of regression to make the following calculations:
1. Calculate the fixed cost of labor.
$
Calculate the variable rate per employee hour.
$per employee hour
2. Construct the cost formula for total labor
cost.
Total labor cost = $ + ($ × Employee hours)

Consider a firm that pays fixed cost F to construct a plant and variable cost C to produce goods. Let q be the quantity that this firm produces. For each case below, do the economics of scale occur for any q? (Hint: Economies of scale occur when marginal cost is less than average cost, MC < AC.)
A. F= 100, c= 10q
B. F= 12, c= 2q^2
C. F= 10, c= 100q

the average total cost curve and the average variable cost curve get
A.closer and closer as output increases, because the
average total cost
curve is
declining.
B.farther and farther apart as output increases, because the average variable cost curve is
rising.
C.
closer and closer as output increases, because the average fixed cost curve is declining.
D.farther and farther apart as output increases, because the
average total cost
curve is
rising.
E.closer and closer as output increases, because the average variable cost curve is
rising.
