2. What is the relationship between the total cost curve, and the average cost per unit? Explain their relationship, and draw a diagram showing how the two are related. The total cost of production, in thousands of dollars, is C(q) = q³ 12q² + 60q, where q is in thousands and 0 ≤ q ≤ 8. (a) Graph C(q). Estimate visually the quantity at which average cost is minimized. (b) Determine analytically the exact value of q at which average cost is minimized.

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.
