![**Question:**
Answer the question on the basis of the following cost data:
| Output | Total Cost |
|--------|------------|
| 0 | $24 |
| 1 | $33 |
| 2 | $41 |
| 3 | $48 |
| 4 | $54 |
| 5 | $61 |
| 6 | $69 |
The total variable cost of producing 2 units of output is:
**Multiple Choice:**
- ○ $20.20
- ○ $17
- ● $12
- ○ $8.50
**Explanation:**
To find the total variable cost for producing 2 units, subtract the fixed cost (total cost at 0 output) from the total cost at 2 units.
Fixed Cost = $24 (Total Cost at Output 0)
Total Cost at Output 2 = $41
Total Variable Cost = $41 - $24 = $17
The answer is $17, but the option selected in the image is $12.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fcd0d6120-6381-4a0f-835d-aa8dc074e5be%2F83105c60-7d4c-42e8-8a93-d2efd35b5c29%2Fioriam8_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
