Webby Inc. is a web development company. Webby’s monthly production function for developing websites is given in the table below. Webby pays $4,000 a month in rent for office space and equipment. It pays each programmer $3,000 a month. There are no other production costs. Fill in the table of production costs.

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the filling of the given table for the production cost is shown in the attachment below:

As we know that

Total cost = Fixed cost + variable cost

Average fixed cost = fixed cost ÷ websites

Average Variable cost = Variable cost  ÷ websites

Therefore the average total cost is

= Average fixed cost + average variable cost

The marginal cost is

= Change in total cost ÷ change in quantity

These formulas are used to complete the table as given below.
