The spreadsheet below gives some of Redstone's production cost data. A template for the spreadsheet is provided in the Course Materials. You may download my template or create your own. Add columns to show, respectively, average fixed cost (AFC), average variable cost (AVC), average total cost (ATC), and short-run marginal cost (SMC).Then, add columns to show, respectively, total revenue (TR), marginal revenue (MR), total profit, average profit, and profit margin. The sample template was an excel spreadsheet and the contents are listed at the bottom and as an additional attachment.
Assume that the world market demand and supply curves for clay fire pots intersects at $190 per unit.
