Here are the solutions to your questions:

4.1 The formula for calculating Marginal Cost (MC) is:

MC=ΔTCΔQorMC=ΔTVCΔQ\text{MC} = \frac{\Delta \text{TC}}{\Delta \text{Q}} \quad \text{or} \quad \text{MC} = \frac{\Delta \text{TVC}}{\Delta \text{Q}}

Where ΔTC\Delta \text{TC} is the change in Total Cost, ΔTVC\Delta \text{TVC} is the change in Total Variable Cost, and ΔQ\Delta \text{Q} is the change in Quantity.

4.2 The formula for calculating Average Cost (AC) is:

AC=TCQ\text{AC} = \frac{\text{TC}}{\text{Q}}

Where TC\text{TC} is Total Cost and Q\text{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.

  1. Identify the formula for Total Cost (TC).

    TC=TVC+TFC\text{TC} = \text{TVC} + \text{TFC}
  2. Use the values from the table for Quantity = 20.

    TC (A)=600+100\text{TC (A)} = 600 + 100 TC (A)=700\text{TC (A)} = 700

    The value of TC labelled A is 700\boxed{700}.

    4.4 Calculate the value of AC labelled B.

  3. Identify the formula for Average Cost (AC).

    AC=TCQ\text{AC} = \frac{\text{TC}}{\text{Q}}
  4. Use the values from the table for Quantity = 10.

    AC (B)=60010\text{AC (B)} = \frac{600}{10} AC (B)=60\text{AC (B)} = 60

    The value of AC labelled B is 60\boxed{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.

  5. Identify the formula for Marginal Cost (MC).

    MC=ΔTCΔQ\text{MC} = \frac{\Delta \text{TC}}{\Delta \text{Q}}
  6. 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\text{MC (D)} = \frac{\text{TC at Q=40} - \text{TC at Q=30}}{\text{Q=40} - \text{Q=30}} MC (D)=1000−85040−30\text{MC (D)} = \frac{1000 - 850}{40 - 30} MC (D)=15010\text{MC (D)} = \frac{150}{10} MC (D)=15\text{MC (D)} = 15

    The value of MC labelled D is 15\boxed{15}.
