The cost information in the following table shows that as production increases, Quantity produced/day | Total Cost | Variable Cost 0 | $50 | 0 1 | $75 | $50 2 | $110 | $75 3 | $155 | $100 4 | $210 | $150 5 | $270 | $175 6 | $345 | $250 Select one: a. average total cost always falls. b. variable cost increases at a uniform rate. c. marginal cost eventually increases. d. Variable cost increases and then eventually falls

Step 1
- Total Cost: This is the sum of fixed costs and variable costs. Fixed costs do not change with the level of production, while variable costs do. - Variable Cost: Costs that change with the level of production. - Marginal Cost: The cost of producing one more unit Show more…

A firm with some fixed costs and a constant marginal cost at all levels of production will have which of the following average cost relationships? As production increases, average total cost will: A remain the same B decrease C increase D decrease and then increase E increase and then decrease

b. The table below shows the costs of production data of a firm producing bicycles. (i) State the value of the firm's total fixed cost. Give one example of fixed cost relevant to this firm. (ii) Based on the information provided, complete the table above by computing the firm's Total Costs, Average Variable Costs, Average Total Costs and Marginal Costs at all level of output.

Table 4.3 shows marginal cost, $M C,$ and marginal revenue, $M R$ (a) Use the marginal cost and marginal revenue at a production of $q=5000$ to determine whether production should be increased or decreased from $5000 .$ (b) Estimate the production level that maximizes profit. $$\begin{array}{c|r|r|r|r|r|r} \hline q & 5000 & 6000 & 7000 & 8000 & 9000 & 10000 \\ \hline M R & 60 & 58 & 56 & 55 & 54 & 53 \\ \hline M C & 48 & 52 & 54 & 55 & 58 & 63 \\ \hline \end{array}$$
