CH22/ Q7. A firm has fixed costs of $60 and variable
costs as indicated in the table on the following page.
Complete the table and check your calculations by referring
to question 4 at the end of Chapter 23.
a. Graph total fixed cost, total variable cost, and total cost.
Explain how the law of diminishing returns influences

relationships 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 7b would be altered if (1) total fixed cost had
been $100 rather than $60 and (2) total variable cost
had been $10 less at each level of output.
