Compute each producer's total cost and average total cost for 1 to 6 pies.

Explanation / Answer

Price = $11

Qty demanded = Qty supplied = 200

Each producer sells at MR=MC, so produce 5 qty each

No. of producers needed = 200/5 = 40

Profit of each producer = P*Q - TC

= 11*5 - 39

= 55 - 39

=$16
