Question
Calculate average variable cost and marginal cost from the following table:
Units of Output
Total Cost
0
75
1
95
2
110

Answer

The total fixed cost will be same at all the levels of output, ranging from zero to two. For zero output, total cost is ₹ 75. At zero output, total variable cost will be zero. Hence, ₹ 75 represents the total fixed cost at all levels of output.
Units of Output TC (Given) TFC TVC = TC – TFC $\text{AVC}=\frac{\text{TVC}}{\text{Output}}$ $\text{MC}=\frac{\Delta\text{TC}}{\Delta\text{Output}}$
0 75 75 0 - -
1 95 75 20 20 20
2 110 75 35 17.5 15
