To complete the table, we need to calculate the Total Cost (TC) and Marginal Cost (MC) for each quantity level. The formulas provided are: TC = FC + VC MC = ( TC)/( Q) Step 1: Calculate Total Cost (TC) for each quantity. • For Q=0: TC = 100 + 0 = 100 • For Q=1: TC = 100 + 30 = 130 • For Q=2: TC = 100 + 70 = 170 • For Q=3: TC = 100 + 120 = 220 • For Q=4: TC = 100 + 180 = 280 Step 2: Calculate Marginal Cost (MC) for each quantity. Marginal Cost is the change in total cost when quantity increases by one unit. • For Q=1: MC = (130 - 100)/(1 - 0) = (30)/(1) = 30 • For Q=2: MC = (170 - 130)/(2 - 1) = (40)/(1) = 40 • For Q=3: MC = (220 - 170)/(3 - 2) = (50)/(1) = 50 • For Q=4: MC = (280 - 220)/(4 - 3) = (60)/(1) = 60 Step 3: Complete the table with the calculated values. |c|c|c|c|c| Q & FC & VC & TC & MC \\ 0 & 100 & 0 & 100 & - \\ 1 & 100 & 30 & 130 & 30 \\ 2 & 100 & 70 & 170 & 40 \\ 3 & 100 & 120 & 220 & 50 \\ 4 & 100 & 180 & 280 & 60 \\ That's 2 down. 3 left today — send the next one.
