1 100 600 - 1000 -

2 190 1200 600 1900 900

3 270 1800 600 2700 800

4 340 2400 600 3400 700

5 400 3000 600 4000 600

7 490 4200 600 4900 400

8 520 4800 600 5200 300

Where TC=Total Cost=worker multiply by cost per worker=$600*1=$600; etc.

MC=Marginal Cost=TC minus preceding TC=$600.

TR=Total Revenue=Total Production multiply by production price=$100*$10=$1,000, etc.

MR=Marginal Revenue=TR minus preceding TR=$1900-$1,000=$900, etc.
