Assume a firm has fixed costs of $80 and variable costs as indicated in the table below. Complete the cost table.

| Total product | Total variable cost | Total cost | AFC | AVC | ATC | MC |
|---------------|---------------------|------------|-----|-----|-----|----|
| 0             | $0                  | $80        |     |     |     |    |
| 1             | 110                 | 190        |     |     |     |    |
| 2             | 150                 | 230        |     |     |     |    |
| 3             | 180                 | 260        |     |     |     |    |
| 4             | 220                 | 300        |     |     |     |    |
| 5             | 270                 | 350        |     |     |     |    |
| 6             | 340                 | 420        |     |     |     |    |
| 7             | 450                 | 530        |     |     |     |    |
| 8             | 580                 | 660        |     |     |     |    |

Here, AFC stands for Average Fixed Cost, AVC for Average Variable Cost, ATC for Average Total Cost, and MC for Marginal Cost.

To calculate:
- **AFC** = Total Fixed Cost / Total Product
- **AVC** = Total Variable Cost / Total Product
- **ATC** = Total Cost / Total Product
- **MC** = Change in Total Cost / Change in Total Product
