### Figure A: Competitive Firm 1.2#### Graph ExplanationThe graph depicted is a typical cost curve for a competitive firm. The x-axis represents the quantity (Q1), and the y-axis represents the price or cost in dollars ($). Several key curves are plotted:- **MC (Marginal Cost):** Shown in green, this curve rises and is typically U-shaped.- **ATC (Average Total Cost):** Shown in yellow, this curve usually declines and then rises due to economies and diseconomies of scale.- **AVC (Average Variable Cost):** Shown in red, below the ATC curve, also U-shaped.- **MR (Marginal Revenue):** Shown in blue, this is a horizontal line reflecting a perfectly competitive market.### Key Points- **Point A:** Where MC intersects ATC.- **Point B:** Where MC intersects AVC.- **Point C:** Intersection of MR and MC indicating optimal production quantity Q1.### Given Data- **P1 = $7.00**- **P2 = $8.50**- **P3 = $8.80**- **Q1 = 120.00**### QuestionRefer to Figure A Competitive Firm 1.2. At an output level of Q1, the average fixed cost is about _________.- ○ $0.50- ○ $0.30- ○ No answer text provided.- ○ No answer text provided.

Total cost is the sum of variable cost and fixed cost. Fixed cost does not change with change in…
