Unit 3 Practice Problem

Draw the points showing total variable cost at daily outputs of 0, 1, 3, 7, 9, 10, and 11 jackets per day when Acme faced a wage of $100 per day. (UseFigure 8.5 "The Total Variable Cost Curve" as a model.) Sketch the total variable cost curve as shown in Figure 8.4 "Computing Variable Costs". Now suppose that the wage rises to $125 per day. On the same graph, show the new points and sketch the new total variable cost curve. Explain what has happened. What will happen to Acme’s marginal cost curve? Its average total, average variable, and average fixed cost curves? Explain.
