- A computer company produces affordable, easy-to-use home computer systems and has fixed costs of $250. The marginal cost of producing computers is as indicated below. Output Fixed Cost Variable Cost Total Cost Marginal Cost Average Cost Average Variable Cost 1 $250 $700 $950 $700 2 $250 $925 $1175 $225 3 $250 $315 4 $250 $360 5 $250 $400 6 $250 $450 7 $250 $550 If the company sells the computers for $550, is it making a profit or a loss? How big is the profit or loss? If the firm sells the computers for $315, is it making a profit or a loss? How big is the profit or loss? We expect the marginal cost to increase as this firm produces more computers. But when the firm shifts from producing 1 to 2 computers, marginal cost falls.
