Thefollowing table provides limited information about your costs. Average total cost for a given quantity of output

is obtained by adding total fixed cost and total variable cost at that level of output and then dividing by the quantity
of output. Remember that your company’s total fixed cost is $180,000.

What is the average total cost if you build three homes?

Now assume that you are considering expanding your company by buying more capital goods (buildings, machines,
and tools). If your company were larger (meaning that it had more capital goods), total fixed cost would increase
from $180,000 to $210,000. However, labor costs would decrease because the capital goods that you purchased
would reduce your need for workers. Therefore, your total variable cost would decrease by $5,000 per home, as
shown in the table.
