a.What is
this manufacturer’s fixed cost?

b.For
each level of output except zero output, calculate this manufacturer’s marginal
cost (MC).

c. For each level of output except zero output,
calculate the variable cost (VC).

d. For each level of output except zero output,
calculate the average variable cost (AVC),

e. For each level of output, calculate the average
total cost (ATC),

f. For each level of output except zero output,
calculate the average fixed cost (AFC).

2.You produce widgets. Currently you
produce 4 widgets at a total cost of $40.

a.What
is your average total cost?

b.Suppose
you could produce one more (the fifth) widget at a marginal cost of $5. If you do produce that fifth widget, what
will your average total cost be? Has your average total cost increased or
decreased? Why?

c.Suppose
instead that you could produce one more (the fifth) widget at a marginal cost
of $20. If you do produce that fifth widget, what will your average total cost
be? Has your average total cost increased or decreased? Why?
