The amount of fish caught per week on a trawler is a function of the crew size assigned to operate the boat. The following table shows the total and marginal products of labor for a trawler.

Assuming that the owner of the trawler is interested in maximizing profits, what is the optimal crew size? workers |2 3 4 5 67 8 9을
The Trouser Company has fixed costs of 2,400 per week. In addition, we have some information about its total costs of production.Output020406080100120140TC2400530067007200770091001200017400a) For each of the output levels in the table, calculate the Trouser Company’s average variable costs (AVC), average (total) cost (AC) and marginal cost (MC).b) Sketch a diagram showing the marginal cost curve, the average variable cost curve, and the firm’s short run supply curve. c) Explain how the firm would maximise its profit, assuming that it faces conditions of perfect competition, in the short run.
