On the following graph, use the orange points (square symbol) to plot the marginal-cost curve for Jane's Juice Bar. (Note: Be sure to plot from left to
right and to plot between integers. For example, if the marginal cost of increasing production from 1 vat of juice to 2 vats of juice is $5, then you
would plot a point at (1.5, 5).) Then use the purple points (diamond symbol) to plot the average-variable cost curve starting at 1 vat of juice, and use
the green points (triangle symbol) to plot the average-total-cost curve also starting at 1 vat of juice.

- Average cost curves (except for avenge fixed cost) tend to be U-shaped, decreasing and then increasing. Marginal cost curves have the same shape, though this may be harder to see since most of the marginal cost curve is increasing. Why do you think that average and marginal cost curves have the same general shape?arrow_forwardThe government imposes a $1000 per year license fee on all pizza restaurants.

- Solve for the missing entries in the above table. Enter whole dollar values for Total and Marginal Cost calculations. Round all average cost calculations to the nearest cent. Enter your answers in the following format: A. $5 B. $18 C. $40 etc. (Note, this is just an example, these are NOT the correct answers.)arrow_forwardQuestion 4 Use the following table for the (i),(ii) and (iii) questions. Quantity Total fixed cost Total variable cost 0 $800 $0 1 $800 $50 2 $800 $100 3 $800 $150 4 $800 $200 (i) What is the marginal cost of the third unit? A: $0 B: $50 C: $150 D: $250 (ii) What is the average total cost at the quantity of 4? A: $100 B: $150 C: $200 D: $250 (iii) From the information in the table above, is the marginal product diminishing? A: Yes, because the total cost is increasing as the quantity increases. B: Yes, because the total variable cost is increasing as the quantity increases. C: No, because the marginal cost is not increasing as quantity increases. D: No, because the total fixed cost is not increasing as quantity increases.arrow_forwardJane's Juice Bar has the following cost schedules: In the following table, complete the marginal cost, average variable cost, and average total cost columns.

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…arrow_forwardI 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.

Thanks!arrow_forwardWhat is the relationship between the Average Fixed Cost (AFC) curve and the Marginal Cost (MC) curve? there is no relationship between fixed costs and marginal costs when MC is above AFC, the AFC must be rising the MC curve intersects the AFC curve at its minimum point when talking about MC, we are always relating is to fixed costs, not variable costsarrow_forward
