Units               Kshs.
0 -                  25
1 -                  32
2 -                  38
3 -                  42

7 -                  78
8 -                  98

i. Using the above data, determine:
·  Total fixed cost 
·  Average variable cost schedule 
· Marginal cost schedule

Suppose this product is produced on a perfect market and the price of the commodity = 10, determine the output Q that will maximize the profits. What is the maximum profits achieved by the firm?
