        0                         $0

        1                         $40

        2                         $72

        3                         $96

        8                         $280

        9                         $330

        10                       $430

(A)   (3pts.) Calculate average total cost when output is 5 units.

                                                                ANSWER: ________

(B)   (2 pts.)What is the marginal cost of the 7th unit of output?

                                                                ANSWER: ________

Answer C & D in the short run and assuming that the firm can only produce integer amounts of output.

                                  Profits or losses = ________  

(D)      (2 pts.) Suppose instead this firm can sell all the output it wants in the short run at a price of $28. Again, how much output should it produce and sell and what will its profits (or losses) be?
