Question:
Below, you are provided with an equation that gives the total cost of producing various quantities of a good or service. You will use this total cost function to identify the total fixed cost. Total variable cost, average fixed cost, and average variable cost associated with different quantities of output. You will then depict the average cost functions graphically.Lucy operates a lemonade stand in Tampa, FL. Her lemonade really hits the spot on a sweltering summer afternoon. Lucy's total cost of producing her thirst-quenching lemonade is given by the following total cost function:
TC 60 + (2.5 x Q). Where Q is the number of glasses of lemonade she produces each day.
