I. The function of total costs is presented by definite equation in accordance to the individual variant. Its general view is TC=26+3Q+Q2 (Q is quantity of produced units). Follow the instructions below to do the tasks 1.1 – 1.6 using basic cost function:
1.1. Write the functions of fixed costs and variable costs:
FC =26 VC =3Q+Q2
1.2. Fill the gaps in the following schedule after calculating all the costs for every definite volume of output. Then calculate total revenue under the price equals $P:

FC, $
VC, $
TC, $

Make a conclusion about production unit activity, using such terms as economic efficiency and profitability:__________________________________________________
1.3. Plot the graph of FC, VC, TC, TR after choosing proper scale.
1.4. Write the functions of average total, average fixed and average variable costs:
ATC =26/Q + 3 + Q; AFC =26/Q; AVC = 3 + Q
1.5. Fill the gaps in the following schedule after calculating all the costs for every definite volume of output:
