Using the data from TABLES 1, 2 and 3 below, plot the following graphs:

(i) On one set of axes plot the 2 curves of:

total sales revenue against volume of sales

total costs against volume of sales.

The volume of sales should be on the x-axis (values from 20 to 26).

On a second set of axes plot the 3 graphs:

marginal cost against volume of sales marginal revenue against volume of sales

price against volume of sales.

Again the volume of sales should be on the x-axis (values from 20 to 26).
