To complete the table, we will use the following formulas: • Total Fixed Cost (TFC): The cost at zero output, which remains constant for all output levels. • Total Variable Cost (TVC): TVC = TC - TFC • Marginal Cost (MC): MC_n = TC_n - TC_n-1 (or TVC_n - TVC_n-1) • Average Fixed Cost (AFC): AFC = (TFC)/(Output) • Average Variable Cost (AVC): AVC = (TVC)/(Output) • Average Cost (AC): AC = (TC)/(Output) (or AC = AFC + AVC) Step 1: Calculate TFC, TVC, MC, AFC, AVC, and AC for each output level. From the table, at Output = 0, Total Cost (TC) = 100. This means the Total Fixed Cost (TFC) is 100. TFC remains constant at 100 for all output levels. Now, we can fill in the rest of the table: | Output (Q) | TFC | TVC | TC | MC | AFC | AVC | AC | | :--------- | :-- | :-- | :-- | :-- | :---- | :---- | :---- | | 0 | 100 | 0 | 100 | - | - | - | - | | 1 | 100 | 50 | 150 | 50 | 100.00 | 50.00 | 150.00 | | 2 | 100 | 90 | 190 | 40 | 50.00 | 45.00 | 95.00 | | 3 | 100 | 128 | 228 | 38 | 33.33 | 42.67 | 76.00 | | 4 | 100 | 172 | 272 | 44 | 25.00 | 43.00 | 68.00 | | 5 | 100 | 240 | 340 | 68 | 20.00 | 48.00 | 68.00 | | 6 | 100 | 320 | 420 | 80 | 16.67 | 53.33 | 70.00 | | 7 | 100 | 418 | 518 | 98 | 14.29 | 59.71 | 74.00 | | 8 | 100 | 540 | 640 | 122 | 12.50 | 67.50 | 80.00 | | 9 | 100 | 674 | 774 | 134 | 11.11 | 74.89 | 86.00 | The completed table is shown above.
