Ans. The slope of the total cost curve is the marginal cost curve as it shows the change in total cost when the output changes. It is calculated as follows:
Marginal cost (MC) = change in TC/change in Q
Ans. The marginal cost of the third worker = Change in TC / change in Q
MC3 = TC3 - TC2/ Q3 - Q2
MC3 = 125 -100/20 -10 ( TC2 = 100, TC3=125, Q2 = 10 and Q3= 20)
MC3 = $25/10
MC3= $2.5
Hence, the marginal cost of the third worker is $2.5 per day.
Ans. MC5 = TC5 - TC4/ Q5 - Q4
MC5 = 175 - 150 / 30 - 25 ( TC4= $150, TC5= $175, Q4 = 25 and Q5 = 30)
MC5 = $25/5
MC5 = $5
Hence, the marginal cost of the fifth worker is $5 per day.
