Its total weekly cost (TC) at this output is $2,100. This includes TVC and TFC. We also know that the firm employs 3 part- time workers at a wage cost of $600 per worker per week.

This could have earned them interest of $200 per week if they had chosen to put it into a bank instead of investing it into their business. 5.
