A special shoe manufacturer ABC Co. has costs of production as follows : Quantity 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 Total Variable Cost ($) 0 50 70 90 140 200 360 a. ABC Co.’s fixed costs are $100. Calculate average fixed costs, average variable costs, average total costs and marginal costs at each level of production.

The WipeOut Ski Company manufactures skis for beginners. Fixed costs are 30. Fill in Table 7.16 for total cost, average variable test, average total cost, and marginal cost.
Compute the average total cost, average variable cost, and marginal cost of producing 50 and 72 haircuts. Draw the graph of line three curves between 60 and 72 haircuts.
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?
A common name for fixed cost is overhead. If you divide fixed cost by the quantity of output produced, you get average fixed cost. Supposed fixed cost is 1,000. What does the average fixed cost curve look like? Use your response to explain what spreading the overhead means.
Return to Figure 7.7. What is the marginal gain in output from increasing the number of batters from 4 to 5 and from 5 to 6? Does it continue the pattern of diminishing marginal returns? Figure 7.7 How output Affects Total costs
What is the difference between fixed costs and variable costs?
How does fixed cost affect marginal cost? Why is this relationship important?
Small Mom and Pop firms, like inner city grocery stores, sometimes exist even though they do not earn economic profits. How can you explain this?
What is the relationship between marginal product and marginal cost? (Hint: Look at the curves.) Why do you suppose that is? Is this relationship the same in the long run as in the short run?
