Answer #1

MC (MC =Change in TC/Change in Q AFC (FC/Q) Q AVC (AVC =VCIQ) 1 2 3 TC (TC = FC+VC) 50 150 270 G 410 M FC 50 50 A 50 H 50 N V

Ans 1.

A, H and N, all are equal to $ 50.

Fixed cost is the cost a firm incurs irrespective of the no. of units sold. It is remains fixed and is incurred no matter how many units are sold or whether the firm gains or not. Examples include rent and tax on property.

Ans 2.

B equals $ 100.

Total Cost = Fixed Cost + Variable Cost

At Q = 1, TC is given as $150 and FC has been calculated as $ 50.

So, VC = TC - FC = 150 - 50 = $50.

Ans 3.

C equals $ 100.

MC =Change in TC/Change in Q.

At Q = 1, Change in TC = 150 - 50 = $ 100 and Change in Q = 1 - 0 = 1

So, MC = 100/1 = $ 100.

Ans 4.

D equals $ 50.

At Q= 1, FC = 50.

We know that AFC = FC/Q.

So, AFC = 50/1 = $50.

Ans 5.

E equals $ 100.

We know that AVC =VC/Q.

At Q = 1, VC = 100 ( See the calculation of B in Ans 2 above)

So, AVC = 100/1 = 100

Ans 6.

F can't be located in the given table.

Ans 7.

G equals $ 270

At Q= 2, M C = 120     And    At Q =1, TC = 150   (GIVEN)

We know that MC = Change in TC/Change in Q

So,   120   =   Change in TC / Change in Q

OR   120 =   G - 150 / 2 - 1

OR   G - 150 = 120

OR   G = 120 +150

OR   G = 270
