Question 8 - Profit maximisation concepts [10 marks] (a) Complete Table 1 (below) bycalculating: (i) Marginal Cost (Column III)(2marks) (ii) Total Revenue (Column V)(2marks) (iii) Marginal Revenue (Column VI) (2marks)

Put your calculated numbers for Cells A to S in the answer box below. To save time, you do not need to label A = 28; B = 12; C = ; etc.

Simply write: 28; 12; etc. Table 1:
