Answer #1

Answer
Option 1
MC

Marginal cost is a change in total cost or total variable cost as the firm produces one more unit of output so it is the cost of variable input and not the fixed input.

Marginal cost =wage/marginal product

the price of K is changing but marginal cost is not related to it as marginal cost is wage (the price of labor ) divided by the marginal product of labor.

FC=number of K * price of K

before change

FC=10*6=60

After change

FC=10*8=80

AFC=FC/Q

as the FC changes the AFC changes

ATC=AFC+AVC

as the AFC changes the ATC changes.

==============

Use the following formula for marginal cost in excel

MC=wage/MP

or

MC=change in total cost /MP

or

MC=change in variable cost/MP

the MC will not change with the value of change in the price of K.
