Suppose that the firm's only variable input is labor. When 50 workers are used, the average product of labor is 50 and the marginal product of labor is 75. The wage rate is $80 and the total cost of the fixed input is $1000. What is average total cost

Respuesta :

Answer:

the average total cost is $2

Explanation:

The computation of the average total cost is shown below:

Average total cost is

= Total cost ÷ total output

where

Total cost is

= Variabel cost + fixed cost

= 50 × $80 + $1,000

= $5,000

And, the total output is

= 50 workers × 50

= 2,500 units

Now the average total cost is

= $5,000 ÷ 2,500 units

= $2

hence, the average total cost is $2
