The following table shows data for the simple production function used in Question 2. Capital costs this firm $50 per unit, and labor costs $20 per worker.

a. From the information in the table, calculate total fixed cost (TFC), total variable cost (TVC), total cost (TC), average fixed cost (AFC), average variable cost (AVC), average total cost (ATC), and marginal cost (MC). (Note that in this case, you are starting from MP, not TP, and, thus, you should calculate TP first if you didn't already do that in Question 2.)

b. Graph your results, putting TFC, TVC, and TC on one graph and AVC, ATC, and MC on another.

c. At what point is average total cost minimized? At what point is average variable cost minimized?
