Suppose that for a particular firm the only variable input into the production process is labor and that output equals zero when no workers are hired. In addition, suppose that the average total cost when 5 units of output are produced is S30, and the marginal cost of the sixth unit of output is S60. What is the average total cost when six units are produced? a. $30 b. $25 c. $10 d s35

Explanation / Answer

(54) (d)

Total cost for 5 units = Average total cost (ATC) x Output = $30 x 5 = $150

Total cost for 6 units = Total cost for 5 units + Marginal cost of 6th unit = $150 + $60 = $210

ATC for 6th unit = Total cost for 6 units / 6 = $210 / 6 = $35
