![### Graph Descriptions:
#### Left Graph:
- **Title:** Costs vs. Quantity
- **Axes:**
- Vertical: Cost in dollars ($)
- Horizontal: Quantity (Q) ranging from 0 to 20
- **Curves:**
- **TC (Total Cost):** Starts around 50 at Q=0 and increases exponentially.
- **TVC (Total Variable Cost):** Starts at 0 and increases less steeply than TC.
- **TFC (Total Fixed Cost):** Horizontal line constant at around 50.
#### Right Graph:
- **Title:** Cost Structures
- **Axes:**
- Vertical: Cost in dollars ($)
- Horizontal: Quantity (Q) ranging from 0 to 20
- **Curves:**
- **MC (Marginal Cost):** U-shaped curve, initially decreases, reaches a minimum, then increases.
- **AC (Average Cost):** U-shaped, similar path to MC but more flattened.
- **AVC (Average Variable Cost):** Below AC, U-shaped but starts higher than MC.
- **AFC (Average Fixed Cost):** Decreases consistently as Q increases.
