Understanding these curves is crucial for analyzing the cost behaviors of a firm.#### Graph Details- **Axes**: - The vertical axis represents the cost in dollars ($). - The horizontal axis represents the quantity of output (Q).- **Curves**: - **Marginal Cost (MC)**: This curve typically is U-shaped and intersects both the ATC and AVC curves. In this graph, the MC curve is shown rising sharply after initially declining slightly. - **Average Total Cost (ATC)**: This curve shows the total cost per unit of output produced, encompassing both fixed and variable costs. It is depicted as a U-shaped curve. - **Average Variable Cost (AVC)**: The AVC curve also displays a U-shape but lies below the ATC at any level of output, as it includes only variable costs per unit.- **Intersection Points**: - The MC curve intersects the ATC and AVC curves at their minimum points, which is a common characteristic of cost curves.#### QuestionThe question on the left side of the image asks to determine the firm's total fixed cost based on the information provided. It presents four options:- A. $2,800- B. $3,000- C. $4,500- D. $7,000To find the total fixed cost, one must understand that fixed cost is the difference between total cost and variable cost at any output level. By analyzing the graph and calculating based on AVC and ATC where they meet quantity levels, the fixed cost can be inferred.This figure effectively demonstrates the relationships and interactions between these fundamental cost curves in economic analysis.

The fixed cost refers to a cost that does not change with a change in the level of output. The variable cost varies with a change in output level. Right Answer: (B)

Mililani business owner Selina runs a small hair salon and does laundry on a regular basis to clean uniforms, hair cloths, client robes, and other washables. Selina is running low on detergent and saw the same-sized boxes of Arm & Hammer laundry detergent on sale at two different stores. Sale price of detergent Regular price of detergent Store Store 1 Store 2 $9.98, limit 4, with additional boxes at regular price Buy two get one free, limit 1 free box, with additional boxes at regular price If Selina only has time to go to one of these stores and needs 3 boxes, whose advice is correct? Select the cost of 3 boxes of Arm & Hammer Laundry detergent at Select $15.99 Selina's friend Kimo said that Store 2 would be cheaper and noted that Store 1's regular price is cheaper than Store 2's regular price. Selina's other friend Lani said that it would be cheaper to go to Store 1, pointing out that Store 2's sale price is still higher than Store 1. Would the situation change if Selina needs 5…
