Answer:

The answer is average total costs are rising at Q=500

Explanation:

Average total cost (ATC) equals total cost divided by the entire quantity of units made or produced(total cost ÷ quantity of units produced).

Marginal cost (MC) is additional cost incurred by producing one additional unit of output.

When incremental cost is above average total cost, average total cost are going to be rising and when incremental cost is below average total cost, average total cost are going to be falling.

A firm is producing efficiently at the minimum average total cost, which is additionally where (ATC) = MC

A.  Average total costs are rising at Q=500

  • The calculation is as follows:

Total cost of making 499 pizza = 499 × 3.3 = 1646.70

Now  

Total cost of making 500 pizza is

= 1646.7 + 3.50

= 1650.20

And,  

Average total cost of 499 pizza is 3.30

Now  

Average total cost of 500 pizza is

= 1650.20 ÷ 500

= 3.3004

Therefore we can conclude that A.  Average total costs are rising at Q=500
