Essay

-The first table above has the total product schedule for an imaginary good called a widget. Each unit of labor costs $25 and the total cost of capital is $100.

In the tables, TFC is the total fixed cost, TVC is the total variable cost, TC is the total cost, AFC is the average fixed cost, AVC is the average variable cost, ATC is the average total cost, and MC is the marginal cost. b) Suppose that labor becomes twice as expensive (so that one unit of labor now costs $50) but nothing else changes. Complete the above tables with the new cost schedules. If you plotted the cost curves, how would the increased wage rate affect the cost curves?
