$80$ Suppose Ralph own a chicken processing plant with the total

cost function shown in the accompanying table.

What is Ralph's fixed cost?

Ralph's fixed cost: $

$\backslash$table$[[\backslash$table$[[$Quantity of$],[$Chickens$]],$Total Cost $($$$)],[0,800],[1,000,1,000],[2,000,1,200],[3,000,1,400],[4,000,1,500],[5,000,1,600],[6,000,1,800],[7,000,2,000],[8,000,2,400]]$

Ralph pays his workers $$100$ each, and labor is the only variable cost. At a quantity of $6000$ chickens, how many workers does he hire?

number of workers Ralph hires:

Why does total cost increase faster as output increases?

There are diminishing returns to labor.

The fixed cost increases.

The variable cost increases.

There are increasing returns to scale.
