After running a successful pineapple business, Diddy looks for a new business venture. Now he wants to run gold mining business named "Diddy Bling Bling" which produces/sells raw gold. For simplicity, two types of inputs are required to produce raw gold (workers and gold mine). In short- run production, the size of gold mine is fixed while the number or workers can vary. After consulting his business consultant, Diddy computes the following cost table. The quantity of raw gold (kilograms) Averaged Total Cost (gold mine size=small) Averaged Total Cost (gold mine size-medium) Averaged Total Cost (gold mine size-Large) 1 700 1400 1800 2 600 1300 1700 3 500 1200 1600 4 400 1100 1500 5 300 1000 1400 6 400 900 1300 7 500 800 1200 8 610 600 1100 9 700 500 1000 10 800 400 900 11 900 375 800 12 1100 250 700 13 1200 400 600 14 1300 490 500 15 1400 600 400 16 1500 700 350 17 1600 800 300 18 1700 900 350 19 1800 1000 400 20 1900 1100 500 21 2000 1200 600 22 2100 1300 700 Draw Diddy Bling Bling's…

Total Cost Marginal Cost (Dollars) Average Variable Cost (Dollars per pair) Fixed Cost Variable Cost Average Total Cost (Dollars per pair) Quantity (Pairs) (Dollars) (Dollars) (Dollars) 120 80 1 200 40 2 240 45 3 285 55 4 340 85 425 115 6 540 On the following graph, plot Douglas Fur's average total cost (ATC) curve using the green points (triangle symbol). Next, plot its average variable cost (AVC) curve using the purple points (diamond symbol). Finally, plot its marginal cost (MC) curve using the orange points (square symbol). (Hint: For ATC and AVC, plot the points on the integer; for example, the ATC of producing one pair of boots is $200, so you should start your ATC curve by placing a green point at (1, 200). For MC, plot the points between the integers: For example, the MC of increasing production from zero to one pair of boots is $80, so you should start your MC curve by placing an orange square at (0.5, 80).) Note: Plot your points in the order in which you would like them…
