QI Suppose that TC0 = $2000, w = $90, and r = $60. a. Graph the isocost line corresponding to a total cost of $2,000. Be sure to label the axes and points of interest such as intercepts in the graph appropriately. b. If the price of labor and the price of capital both increase by 10%, how does that affect the isocost line corresponding to total cost of $2,000? Explain and illustrate graphically. c. If only the price of labor increases by 10%, how does that affect the isocost line for TCO = $2000? %3D

If two painters can paint 200 square feet of wall in an hour, and three painters can paint 275 square feet, what is the marginal product of the third painter?
Average cost curves (except for avenge fixed cost) tend to be U-shaped, decreasing and then increasing. Marginal cost curves have the same shape, though this may be harder to see since most of the marginal cost curve is increasing. Why do you think that average and marginal cost curves have the same general shape?
How does fixed cost affect marginal cost? Why is this relationship important?
