Here are the solutions to your questions: 4.1 The formula for calculating Marginal Cost (MC) is: MC = TC Q or MC = TVC Q Where TC is the change in Total Cost, TVC is the change in Total Variable Cost, and Q is the change in Quantity. 4.2 The formula for calculating Average Cost (AC) is: AC = TCQ Where TC is Total Cost and Q is Quantity. 4.3 Marginal cost is the additional cost incurred by producing one more unit of a good or service. It represents the change in total cost when output increases by one unit. 4.4 Calculate the value of TC labelled A. Step 1: Identify the formula for Total Cost (TC). TC = TVC + TFC Step 2: Use the values from the table for Quantity = 20. TC (A) = 600 + 100 TC (A) = 700 The value of TC labelled A is 700. 4.4 Calculate the value of AC labelled B. Step 1: Identify the formula for Average Cost (AC). AC = TCQ Step 2: Use the values from the table for Quantity = 10. AC (B) = (600)/(10) AC (B) = 60 The value of AC labelled B is 60. 4.5 There is no value labelled 'C' in the MC column of the provided table. 4.6 Calculate the value of MC labelled D. Step 1: Identify the formula for Marginal Cost (MC). MC = TC Q Step 2: Use the values from the table for Quantity = 30 and Quantity = 40. MC (D) = TC at Q=40 - TC at Q=30Q=40 - Q=30 MC (D) = (1000 - 850)/(40 - 30) MC (D) = (150)/(10) MC (D) = 15 The value of MC labelled D is 15. That's 2 down. 3 left today — send the next one.
