Pls put in a tabular form:

Under Output(kg):

Under variable cost($):

0, 30, 55, 75, 90

Under Total cost ($):

15, 45, 70, 90, 105

Under Total revenue($):

0, 30, 70, 120, 170

(2ai)

at output 0; marginal revenue (M. R)

= $0.00

at output 15; M.R = TR2-TR1

=30 – 0 = $30.0

at output 35; M.R = TR3 – TR2

70 – 30 = $40.0

at output 60; M.R = TR4 – TR3

=120 – 70 = $50.0

at output 85; M.R = TR5 – TR4

= 170 – 120 = $50.0

(2aii)

at output 0, marginal cost (mc) = $0.00

at output 15, mc = TC2 – TC1

= 45 – 15 = $30.00

at output 35, mc = TC3 – TC2 = 70 – 45 = $25.0

at output 60, mc = TC4 – TC3

= 90 – 70 = $20.0

at output 85, mc = TC5 – TC4

= 85 – 60 = $25.0
