From your knowledge of the relationships among the various cost functions, complete the following table.

Let's work through the relationships between the cost functions and complete the table. We have the following columns in the table: Q (quantity), TTC (Total Cost), TFC (Total Fixed Cost), TVC (Total Variable Cost), ATC (Average Total Cost), AFC (Average Fixed Cost), AVC (Average Variable Cost), and MC (Marginal Cost).

Here are the key relationships we will use:

1. **TTC (Total Cost)** = TFC (Total Fixed Cost) + TVC (Total Variable Cost).
2. **ATC (Average Total Cost)** = \( \frac{TTC}{Q} \).
3. **AFC (Average Fixed Cost)** = \( \frac{TFC}{Q} \).
4. **AVC (Average Variable Cost)** = \( \frac{TVC}{Q} \).
5. **MC (Marginal Cost)** = Change in TVC divided by change in Q.

From the image:
- At \( Q = 0 \), \( TFC = 125 \), and TVC is 0 since no production has occurred.
- As quantity increases, TFC remains constant, while TVC and other values change based on the formulas.

Let's go step by step:

### Step 1: Fill in missing TFC and TVC values
- From \( Q = 0 \), we know \( TFC = 125 \).
- Since \( TFC \) stays constant, for all \( Q \), \( TFC = 125 \).

### Step 2: Use TTC and TFC to find TVC
- At \( Q = 40 \), \( TTC = 255 \). Since \( TTC = TFC + TVC \), we get:
  \[
  TVC = TTC - TFC = 255 - 125 = 130
  \]
- At \( Q = 80 \), \( TTC = 295 \), so:
  \[
  TVC = 295 - 125 = 170
  \]

### Step 3: Use the relationships to complete ATC, AFC, AVC, and MC
- **AFC** = \( \frac{TFC}{Q} \)
- **AVC** = \( \frac{TVC}{Q} \)
- **ATC** = \( \frac{TTC}{Q} \) (or ATC = AFC + AVC)

I'll now calculate and fill the missing values into the table:

\[
\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
Q & TTC & TFC & TVC & ATC & AFC & AVC & MC \\
\hline
0 & 125 & 125 & 0 & - & - & - & - \\
10 & - & 125 & - & - & - & - & 5 \\
20 & - & 125 & - & 10.5 & - & - & - \\
30 & - & 125 & 110 & - & - & - & 5 \\
40 & 255 & 125 & 130 & - & - & 3 & - \\
50 & - & 125 & - & - & - & - & - \\
60 & - & 125 & - & 5 & 3 & 3 & - \\
70 & - & 125 & - & - & - & - & 3 \\
80 & 295 & 125 & 170 & 5 & - & - & - \\
\hline
\end{array}
\]

Now, I'll finalize the missing values based on calculations:

1. **TVC for Q = 10 and 20**: Since \( MC \) between 0 to 10 is 5, \( TVC = 10 \times 5 = 50 \).
   \[
   TVC_{20} = 50 + 5 \times 10 = 100
   \]

2. **ATC, AFC, and AVC** values for each \( Q \):

\[
\text{AFC at each Q} = \frac{TFC}{Q}
\]
\[
\text{AVC at each Q} = \frac{TVC}{Q}
\]

With these, I can now fill the rest.
