Exercise 9
A firm has fixed costs of $60 and variable costs as indicated in the accompanying table.
Complete the table and check your calcula­tions by referring to question 3 at the end of Chapter 7.
a. Graph the AFC, ATC, and MC curves. Why does the AFC curve slope continuously downward Why does the MC curve eventually slope upward Why does the MC curve intersect the ATC curve at its minimum point
b. Explain how the location of each curve graphed in question 9a would be altered if (1) total fixed cost had been $100 rather than $60 and (2) total variable cost had been $10 less at each level of output.
