(Hint: Select each point on the previous graph to see its coordinates.) (?) Based on Giocattolo's average cost curve, within one factory it can produce 20,000 toy cars at S per toy car, and produce the total of 30,000 toy cars at S per toy car. Complete the following table by indicating Giocattolo's total production cost for each scenario.

The following graph shows the marginal cost (MC), average total cost (ATC), and average variable cost (AVC) curves for a typical firm in the industry. For each price in the following table, use the graph to determine the number of shirts this firm would produce in order to maximize its profit. Assume that when the price is exactly equal to the average variable cost, the firm is indifferent between producing zero shirts and the profit-maximizing quantity. Also, indicate whether the firm will produce, shut down, or be indifferent between the two in the short run. Lastly, determine whether it will make a profit, suffer a loss, or break even at each price.
