To complete part (a) of the question, we will fill in the missing columns for the total costs and average costs. The formula for each type of cost is as follows:

1. **Total Costs (TC)** = Total Fixed Costs (TFC) + Total Variable Costs (TVC)
2. **Average Costs (AC)** = Total Costs (TC) / Output

The table already provides us with the fixed costs (20,000) and the variable costs for certain outputs. Let's calculate the total and average costs:

- For 0 units:
  - Total Costs = \(20,000 + 0 = 20,000\)
  - Average Costs = Not applicable (as output is zero)

- For 100 units:
  - Total Costs = \(20,000 + 5,000 = 25,000\)
  - Average Costs = \( \frac{25,000}{100} = 250 \)

- For 200 units:
  - Total Costs = \(20,000 + 10,000 = 30,000\)
  - Average Costs = \( \frac{30,000}{200} = 150 \)

For the next missing data points:

- For 300 units:
  - TVC: Assume this increases steadily (each 100 units increase TVC by 5,000).
  - So, TVC = \( 15,000 \)
  - Total Costs = \( 20,000 + 15,000 = 35,000 \)
  - Average Costs = \( \frac{35,000}{300} \approx 116.67 \)

- For 400 units:
  - TVC = \( 20,000 \)
  - Total Costs = \( 20,000 + 20,000 = 40,000 \)
  - Average Costs = \( \frac{40,000}{400} = 100 \)

- For 500 units:
  - TVC = \( 25,000 \)
  - Total Costs = \( 20,000 + 25,000 = 45,000 \)
  - Average Costs = \( \frac{45,000}{500} = 90 \)

- For 600 units:
  - TVC = \( 30,000 \)
  - Total Costs = \( 20,000 + 30,000 = 50,000 \)
  - Average Costs = \( \frac{50,000}{600} \approx 83.33 \)

This completes the table for part (a). Would you like a breakdown of the next parts (b) and (c)?

**Additional Questions:**

1. How would you describe the relationship between fixed costs and output level?
2. What happens to the average cost as output increases, and why?
3. Can you explain the significance of fixed costs for a business with low output?
4. How would a sudden increase in variable costs impact the total costs and average costs?
5. Why is the average cost curve typically U-shaped in cost analysis?

**Tip:** When graphing costs, remember that fixed costs are constant, while variable costs increase with production, leading to rising total costs.
