  1. George sells pepperoni pizzas at $25 per pizza from a stall on the beach.   George’s pays $30 per hour to rent his stall and pays his worker $10 per hour to make and sell the pizzas. The ingredients cost $15 per pizza. These are George’s only costs.

NOTE: The hourly cost function (and table) are costs per hour. Note, however, that the total costs in any given hour depend on the number of pizzas sold that hour. The function and table should therefore only be a function of one variable, Q, the number of pizzas. But it should, of course, take into account any other hourly fixed costs.

  1. (3 points) What is George’s (hourly) total cost function?

  1. Fill in the following information in the table below:
    1. (3 points) Total (hourly) costs
    2. (3 points) Marginal costs
    3. (3 points) Total (hourly) revenue
