This question examines the relationships between different measures of a firm's costs, including total cost, total fixed cost, and total variable cost. You will use cost data to calculate missing pieces of those data. Randy's Reading Room prints mystery novels for amateur writers. Randy is usually a meticulous bookkeeper, keeping daily cost data. He did, however, fail to complete all of his bookkeeping responsibilities yesterday. Below, you are provided with the incomplete data that Randy managed to record. Task 1: Using the imperfect data that Randy managed to record, identify the missing cost values. Quantity (novels) 0 1 2 3 4 5 Total Cost 1 (dollars) $55 100 175 Total Fixed Cost Total Variable Cost (dollars) (dollars) $55 55 55 $20 95 155

What shapes would you generally expect each of the following cost curves to have: fixed costs, variable costs, marginal costs, average total costs, and average variable costs?
How do we calculate each of the following: marginal cost, average total cost, and average variable cost?
How does fixed cost affect marginal cost? Why is this relationship important?
What shape of a long-run average cost curve illustrates economies of scale, constant returns to scale, and diseconomies of scale?
Automobile manufacturing is an industry subject to significant economies of scale. Suppose there are four domestic auto manufacturers, but the demand for domestic autos is no more than 2.5 times the quantity produced at the bottom of the long-run average cost curve. What do you expect will happen to the domestic auto industry in the long run?
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.
Which costs are measured on per-unit basis: fixed costs, average cost, avenge variable cost, variable costs, 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.
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?
