The table below represents incomplete information on the short-run production costs for a firm, where: FC is fixed cost; TVC is total variable cost; TC is total cost; MC is marginal cost; and AFC, AVC, and ATC are average fixed, average variable, and average total cost, respectively. Based on the information provided in the table, complete the rest of the table. Note that values for FC, TVC, TC, AFC, AVC, and ATC should be placed on the same line as the corresponding quantity; values for MC should be placed between quantities. For example, the marginal cost of increasing output from 2 units to 3 units is $110, thus s110 is entered between Q=2 and Q=3 in the table. Find the quantity at which diminishing marginal returns set in.

The four statements below describe properties of a firm's short run cost curves. Complete the statements using words from the list given below. • The increase in total cost from producing an additional unit of output is called • Average cost is the total cost of When a firm's average cost curve crosses the marginal cost curve, average costs are When a firm's average cost is greater than marginal cost, then producing an additional unit of output will result in a fall in average cost marginal cost at a minimum at a maximum production production divided by the quantity of units produced
