Question

Transcribed Image Text:In the diagram, there are three curves plotted against the output (Q):
1. **Marginal Cost (MC) Curve** - This is shown in red. It initially decreases, reaches a minimum, and then increases steeply.
2. **Average Total Cost (ATC) Curve** - This is shown in blue and is positioned above the AVC curve. It declines, reaches a minimum, and then rises.
3. **Average Variable Cost (AVC) Curve** - This is also shown in blue. It is below the ATC curve and follows a similar pattern: decreasing initially, reaching a minimum, and then rising.
The x-axis represents the Output (Q), ranging from 0 to 100, while the y-axis represents the cost in dollars, ranging from $0 to $20.
**Question:**
In the diagram above, when the firm's Output (Q) is 20, Average Variable Cost (AVC) is:
- $17.50
- $7.50
- $12.50
- $10.00
