Use the table to answer the following questions:

Quantity of yams(kg) Total Revenue (TR) Marginal Revenue (MR) Total Cost (TC) Marginal Cost (MC)
  N N N N
0 0 - 5 -
1 9 9 8 3
2 18 9 6 T
3 24 6 21 5
4 28 Q 25 4
5 30 2 25 U
6 P 1 25 0
7 28 -3 S 1
8 24 R 24 -2

(a) Complete the table by calculating the missing figures P,Q,R,S,T,U.
(b)At what out-put is profit maximized?
(c) Calculate the profit when quantity sold is 5.
(d) At what output does MC begin to rise?

Explanation

(a)Total Revenue at P = 30 + 1 = N31
Marginal Revenue at Q = N28 - N24 = N4
Marginal Revenue at R = N24 - N28 = -N4 Total Cost at S = N25 + Ni = N26 
Marginal cost at T = N16 - N8 = N8
Marginal cost at U = N25 - N25 = NO

(b) The profit is maximized at output 4kg of yams when MC = MR

(c) At output 5kg, Profit = TR - TC = N30 - N25 = N5

(d) Marginal cost (MC) begins to rise from output
