On the following graph, use the orange points (square
symbol) to plot the marginal-cost curve for Jane's Juice Bar.
(Note: Be sure to plot from left to right and to
plot between integers. For example, if the marginal cost of
increasing production from 1 vat of juice to 2 vats of juice is $5,
then you would plot a point at (1.5, 5).) Then use the purple
points (diamond symbol) to plot the average-variable cost curve
starting at 1 vat of juice, and use the green points (triangle
symbol) to plot the average-total-cost curve also starting at 1 vat
of juice.
