Jill Pizza restaurant labor is 650 per worker, cost of oven is 800. The workers needed increases as the number of pizzas made increases.
Using the information below:
1. Fill in the remaining columns given the calculations to calculate costs: variable (VC), Marginal (MC), Average Var.(AVC) Average Fixed (AFC)
2. Graph the MC, ATC, AVC, AFC curves (start from Quantity of 200 or your graphs look bad)
3. What is happening to your MC curve over time?
Total Costs (TC), ATC (Average Total Costs),AFC (Average Fixed Costs), AVC(Average Variable Costs), MC (Marginal Costs)
