- **Columns:**
  - Labor Input
  - Quantity of Total Product (Q=TP)
  - Marginal Product (MP=ΔQ/ΔL)
  - Variable Cost (VC) at W=$20
  - Fixed Cost (FC)
  - Total Cost (TC=VC+FC)
  - Marginal Cost (MC=ΔTC/ΔQ)
  - Average Total Cost (ATC=TC/Q)
  - Price (P)
  - Total Revenue (TR=P*Q)
  - Profit (Π=TR-TC)

- **Rows:**
  - Input values range from 0 to 6, with corresponding calculations for each output level indicating how cost structures and revenues change as input increases.

#### Highlights

#### Discussion Questions
1. What does the relationship between MP and MC indicate?
2. At what level of Q is profit maximized?
3. Interpret the Total Revenue and Total Cost intersection.
