Situation 21-1
Diane's Donuts will begin selling donuts next week. Diane figures that
the average variable cost to make each donut will be constant at $0.30.
She has already paid $20,000 for the donut-making machinery and one
year's rent.
Refer to Situation 21-1. What will Diane's total variable costs be if she sells 36,500 donuts in one year?

- 3. A firm has a total fixed cost of $60 and total variable costs as indicated in the table. Complete the table and check your cal- culations by referring to problem 4 at the end of Chapter 10. L09.3 a. Graph total fixed cost, total variable cost, and total cost. Explain how the law of diminishing returns influences the shapes of the variable-cost and total-cost curves. b. Graph AFC, AVC, ATC, and MC. Explain the derivation and shape of each of these four curves and their relation- ships to one another. Specifically, explain in nontechnical terms why the MC curve intersects both the AVC and the ATC curves at their minimum points. C. Explain how the location of each curve graphed in question 3b. would be altered if (1) total fixed cost is $100 rather than $60 and (2) total variable cost is $10 less at each level of output.arrow_forwardConsider the following production schedule: Output per hour Total Cost 0 $ 1 $ $ $ $ 4.00 7.00 8.00 12.50 17.20 $ 22.00 $ 29.00 In the above table, the firm's total fixed cost of production is 2 3 4 5 сл LO 6 $99.70 $4 $29 $3 $7arrow_forwardCost 8 Firm A Firm C FIGURE 8-1 O O O LRAC Output LRAC Output Cost Cost Firm B Firm D LRAC Output LRAC Output 4 Refer to Figure 8-1.

Investing more money into the same financial investment will always result in a diminished fiancial return. O If a firm makes another type of product available to its customers, then it will generate less revenue from its new type of product compared to its existing products. As more units of a variable factor are used with a fixed factor, beyond some point it becomes harder and harder for a firm to increase production.arrow_forward
- The following graph shows the short-run average total cost curves and the long-run average total cost curve for a publishing firm. The five marked quantities indicate points of tangency between each short-run average total cost curve (ATC) and the long-run average total cost curve (LRATC); for example, Qi marks the point of tangency between ATC1 and LRATC. The orange point on ATC, indicates the firm's current output level in the short run (Q2).
