- 3. A firm has a total fixed cost of $60 and total variable costs as indicated in the table. Complete the table and check your cal- culations by referring to problem 4 at the end of Chapter 10. L09.3 a. Graph total fixed cost, total variable cost, and total cost. Explain how the law of diminishing returns influences the shapes of the variable-cost and total-cost curves. b. Graph AFC, AVC, ATC, and MC. Explain the derivation and shape of each of these four curves and their relation- ships to one another. Specifically, explain in nontechnical terms why the MC curve intersects both the AVC and the ATC curves at their minimum points. C. Explain how the location of each curve graphed in question 3b. would be altered if (1) total fixed cost is $100 rather than $60 and (2) total variable cost is $10 less at each level of output.arrow_forwardConsider the following production schedule: Output per hour Total Cost 0 $ 1 $ $ $ $ 4.00 7.00 8.00 12.50 17.20 $ 22.00 $ 29.00 In the above table, the firm's total fixed cost of production is 2 3 4 5 сл LO 6 $99.70 $4 $29 $3 $7arrow_forwardIn the short run, a firm 's output level is 10 units.

- Bessie wants to calculate the accounting and economic profits on her cattle farm in Nebraska. She pays $130,000 per year as her explicit costs for the cost of raising cattle, wages, and insurance. She forgoes $30,000 per year that she could make as a teacher. If her total revenue equals $140,000, that means her accounting profit is and her economic profit is a) $60,000; $30,000 b) $30,000; -$30,000 Oc) -$10,000; -$10,000 d) $10,000; -$20,000arrow_forward14arrow_forward7.
