Transcribed Image Text: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
