Use this information to fill in the column for total cost in the previous table. Fill in the column for marginal cost in the previous table. (Hint: MC= ) Fill in the column for average total cost in the previous table. (Hint: ATC= Which of the following statements are true about the patterns found in this table? Check all that apply. When marginal product is rising, marginal cost is falling. Marginal cost declines at first, then rises. When marginal cost is less than average total cost, average total cost is rising. Average total cost is not U-shaped. AMAAAA
Sandra and Trey operate a small company that produces souvenir footballs. Their fixed cost is $2,000 per month. Each worker costs $1,000 per month.
