TC = -4.74 + 0.0055Q
Using the above equation calculate fixed cost, average total cost and marginal cost if 25 units produced
FC=the cost is same at all level, and it is equal to total cost at Q=0
FC=-4.74
it is minus means the firm is getting a subsidy to set up the business
it is same at all output levels
-------
Variable cost is the variable term in the total cost function
Variable cost =0.0055Q
AVC=VC/Q
AVC=0.0055Q/Q=0.0055
it is constant at all output levels
----------
marginal cost is the change in total cost and a change in function is found by differentiation
MC=dTC/dQ=0.0055
the MC is $0.0055
it is constant at all the output levels.
