Total Variable Cost
Total Cost
Average Variable Cost
Average Total Cost

Answer 1

Total Variable Cost = (Number of Workers x Worker’s Daily Wage) + Other Variable Costs
Total Costs = Total Variable Costs + Total Fixed Costs
Total Revenue = Price * Quantity
Average Variable Cost = Total Variable Cost / Units of Output per Day
Average Total Cost = (Total Variable Cost + Total Fixed Cost) / Units of Output per Day
