    Answer and Explanation:

    a and b. The average total cost and the marginal cost is shown below:

    As we know that

    Average cost is

    = Total cost : total number of customer loads

    And, the Marginal cost is

    = Additional total cost incurred for extra units generated

    So based on this, the marginal cost and the average total cost are as follows

    Customer load level Total cost Average cost Marginal cost

    0 $27

    1 $30 $30 : 1 = 30 30 - 27 = 3

    2 $32 $32 : 2 = 16 32 - 30 = 2

    3 $35 $35 : 3 = 11.67 35 - 32 = 3

    4 $38 $38 : 4 = 9.5 38 - 35 = 3

    5 $42 $42 : 5 = 8.4 42 - 38 = 4

    6 $48 $48 : 6 = 8 48 - 42 = 6

    7 $57 $57 : 7 = 8.14 57 - 48 = 9

    8 $68 $68 : 8 = 8.5 68 - 57 = 11

    c. Now the customer loan you want is

    As we know that

    Profit = Marginal revenue - marginal cost

    And, as we can see that at marginal cost 9 we can load 7 customers so the 7 customers would be wanted
