Look for patterns. Ask Dyt. Google for existing solution to problem.

It looks more like accounting.

Should answer all questions and workings out as long as you stick to the formulae. Hopefully it helps.

on one example the tp is 10, afc 120, avc 100, mc 100, and tc is missing
then tp 20, afc missing, avc missing, tc 3000, mc 80
tp 30, afc 40, avc missing, tc 3900, mc missing
tp 40, afc missing, avc missing, tc missing, mc 130
tp 50, afc 24, avc 108, tc missing, mc missing

my ta is worthless and the book doesnt correlate with the info he gave us X(

first line is impossible because the average cost can never be lower than the average fixed cost because ac is composed of the afc plus the mc (well actualy it can but then mc would have to be negative which would be silly)
second line is afc 70 and ac 150 because tc/tp=ac and ac-mc=afc
third line is ac 130, mc 90
fourth line dunno
fifth line tc 5400 (ac*tp=tc) mc 84

on one example the tp is 10, afc 120, avc 100, mc 100, and tc is missing --- if tp is 10, avc is 100, wouldn't tc be 1000? tp *avc=tc, i'd say
then tp 20, afc missing, avc missing, tc 3000, mc 80, --- i think afc = (tc - mc*tp)/tp = 70, avc = tc/tp= 150
tp 30, afc 40, avc missing, tc 3900, mc missing, --- avc = tc/tp=130, mc = tc-(afc*tp)=2700/tp=90
tp 40, afc missing, avc missing, tc missing, mc 130 <= seems like some numbers are missing here...
tp 50, afc 24, avc 108, tc missing, mc missing --- tc =tp*avc= 5400, mc = tc-(afc*tp) = 5400-(24*50)=4200/tp =84

that's all the time i have right now. note that in all this i assume there's plenty of production capacity and whatnot, otherwise that'd also have to be in mc...
