a. Construct a diagram of the cost function, where you have the quantity on the X-axis and the cost on the Y-axis. b. How do you find the fixed cost, FC, from the information in the graph? Draw a line indication the fixed cost at different quantities produced. c. How do you find the variable cost, VC? Draw it. d. Draw a new graph below the first one. Draw the marginal cost curve, MC, and the curves for average total cost, ATC, and the average variable cost, AVC.
