Suppose the firm can hire all the labour it would ever want at the going wage of $8 per labour-hour. The
firm's total fixed costs are $64 per day.

Fill in the table showing total variable cost (TVC), total cost (TC), average variable cost (AVC),
average total cost (ATC), and marginal cost (MC). [Remember: Marginal cost should be entered
midway between rows of output.]
On a graph with DOWNLOADS (per day) on the horizontal axis, draw the three "per-unit" cost
curves, AVC, ATC, and MC. [Note…
At Dana's dairy farm, the average total cost of producing 19 liters of milk is $10, while the average total cost of producing 20 liters
milk is $11. What is the marginal cost of the twentieth liter of milk?
