Suppose that $TFC$ is ₹ $120$, find out (i) $TC$ and $TVC$ (ü) $MC$ from the following data:

Output (units)	1	2	3	4	5
ATC (₹)	240	160	140	160	180

The demand function of a commodity x is $Q_x = 12 - P.$ (where $Q_x =$ the quantity demanded of a commodity x and $P_x =$ price of the commodity x). Derive the TR and MR schedules when the price of commodity varies from ₹ 12 to ₹ 1.

Suppose there are two consumers in the market for a good and their demand functions are as follows:

$d_2(p) = 30 – 2p$ for any price less than or equal to $15$ and $d_1(p) = 0$ t any price greater than $15.$
