Suppose that each firm in a competitive pizza market has the following identical cost: Total cost: TC=25+1.5Q2 i. Formulate the equation or level of fixed cost, variable cost, marginal cost, average variable cost (AVC) and average total cost (ATC) for each firm. ii. Sketch a diagram to illustrate average total cost (ATC) and marginal cost (MC) for Q from 1 to 20. Identify the quantity at which the average total cost (ATC) reaches its minimum and interpret its economic or business implication. iii. An innovation was diffused widely among all firms in the market. Adoption of this innovation will help to reduce 20% of the variable cost for any given level of production while all other factors remain the same. A firm needs to pay a fee of $5 to adopt the innovation. Formulate the new production cost functions (TC, TFC, TVC, ATC and MC) for each firm.
