Douglas Fur is a small manufacturer of fake-fur boots in Chicago. The following table shows the company’s total cost of production at various production quantities. Fill in the remaining cells of the following table.   On the following graph, plot Douglas Fur’s average total cost (ATC) curve using the green points (triangle symbol). Next, plot its average variable cost (AVC) curve using the purple points (diamond symbol). Finally, plot its marginal cost (MC) curve using the orange points (square symbol). (Hint: For ATC and AVC, plot the points on the integer; for example, the ATC of producing one pair of boots is $200, so you should start your ATC curve by placing a green point at (1, 200). For MC, plot the points between the integers: For example, the MC of increasing production from zero to one pair of boots is $80, so you should start your MC curve by placing an orange square at (0.5, 80).) Note: Plot your points in the order in which you would like them connected. Line segments…
I was able to fill out the first column, but I'm having trouble with the remaining columns of the table that is attached to this question. If you could please help me understand how to complete these calculations, that would be great! Thanks!
Economist T. Yntema estimated the short-run total cost function of the United States Steel Corporation in the 1930s to be as follows: C=182.1+55.73Q where C is total annual cost (in millions of dollars) and Q is millions of tons of steel produced. a. b. C. d. What was U.S. Steel's fixed costs? If U.S. Steel produced 10 million tons of steel, what was its average variable costs? What was U.S. Steel's marginal costs? If there were diminishing marginal returns to the variable inputs in the production of steel, do you think that this equation provided a faithful representation of U.S. Steel's short-run total cost function? Briefly explain.
