 Total Variables Coat (TVC) $  0  5  7  10  20
 Total Cost (TC) $  7  12  14  17  27

(a) Calculate the
(i) Average Fixed Cost (AFC) at output levels 0,2 and 4
(ii) Marginal Cost (MC) at all levels of output

(b) If the price of a bag of rice were $10,
(i) calculate the profit/loss at all levels of output.
(ii) at what output level(s) is the maximum profit made?
