7 | 100 | 168 | 268 | 14.28 | 24 | 38.28 | 42 |
8 | 100 | 218 | 318 | 12.5 | 27.25 | 39.75 | 50 |
Explanation of Solution
Using the following formulas, we calculate the values of the table.
Total Product (Q) | Fixed Cost (FC) | Variable Cost (VC) | Total Cost (TC) | Average Fixed Cost (AFC) | Average Variable Cost (AVC) | Average Cost (AC) | Marginal Cost (MC) |
1 | 100 | 30 | 130 | 100 | 30 | 130 | 30 |
2 | 100 | 50 | 150 | 50 | 25 | 75 | 20 |
3 | 100 | 60 | 160 | 33.33 | 20 | 53.33 | 10 |
4 | 100 | 64 | 164 | 25 | 16 | 41 | 4 |
5 | 100 | 90 | 190 | 20 | 18 | 38 | 26 |
6 | 100 | 126 | 226 | 16.67 | 21 | 37.67 | 36 |
7 | 100 | 168 | 268 | 14.28 | 24 | 38.28 | 42 |
8 | 100 | 218 | 318 | 12.5 | 27.25 | 39.75 | 50 |
Total cost: TC are the total outlay in production activity.
Fixed costs: FC are the costs that once incurred remain same at all levels of output.
Variable costs: VC are the costs that vary with the level of output.
Average total cost: ATC is the total cost per unit of output.
Average fixed cost: AFC is the fixed cost per unit of output.
Average variable cost: AVC is the variable cost per unit of output.
Marginal Cost: MC is an add on to the total cost (or total variable cost) when an extra unit of output is produced.

- Recent research indicates potential health benefits associated with coffee consumption, including a potential reduction in the incidence of liver disease. Simultaneously, new technology is being applied to coffee bean harvesting, leading to cost reductions in coffee production. How will these developmentsaffect the demand and supply of coffee? How will the equilibrium price and quantity of coffee change? Use both words and graphs to explain.arrow_forwardRecent research indicates potential health benefits associated with coffee consumption, including a potential reduction in the incidence of liver disease.

A recent data breach of U.S.-based Home Depot involved some 56 million cardholders. Just to investigate and cover the immediate direct costs of this identity theft amounted to an estimated $62,000,000, of which $27,000,000 was recovered by insurance company payments. This does not include indirect costs, such as, lost future business, costs to banks, and cost to replace cards. If a cyber security vendor had proposed 8 years before the breach that a $10,000,000 investment in a malware detection system could guard the company's computer and payment systems from such a breach, would it have kept up with the rate of inflation estimated at 4% per year?arrow_forward
