TESTING YOUR ECONOMIC QUOTIENT 1. Based on the following table, graph the total util- ity curve of Robbin Denison for buffalo wings. Then, calculate the marginal utility between each point and plot the corresponding graph. Why is the slope of the MU curve negative? ROBBIN'S UTILITY FUNCTION Number of Wings Total Utility 1 30 2 58 3 84 6 150 12 222 24 306

Complete the following table. What is the lowest cost per unit? For your own use, plot the marginal cost and average total cost information using graph paper (You do not need to turn in graphs). Can you identify the minimal cost per unit on the ATC? How does this point relate to the MC curve? Rate of Output 0 1 2 3 4 5 Total Cost Marginal Cost Average Total Cost $100 110 130 165 220 300
