1. Determine equations for P = f(Q), M R = f(Q), ATC = fQ. Q2). Avc = fO.Q ), MC-fQ.Q). Recall that your marginal equations should be derivatives of your totals

Explanation / Answer

From the table we can find the demand function:

y = mx + c

y = ((y2-y1)/(x2-x1))x + c

put any two points to find the value of m and c.

we have equation:

P = 1000 - 20Q

From the graph, we have a cost function:

TC = 108Q2 + 322.6Q + 1500

MR = d(P*Q) / dQ

MR = d(1000Q - 20Q2)/dQ

MR = 1000 - 40Q

ATC = TC / Q

ATC = 108Q + 322,6 + 1500/Q

VC = TC - FC

VC = 108Q2 + 322.6Q

AVC = VC/Q

AVC = 108Q + 322.6

MC = d(TC)/dQ

MC = 216Q + 322.6
