d. Now fill in the column for marginal cost. (Recall which MC = ?TC/?Q). Illustrate what pattern do you see?

e. Compare the column for marginal product also the column for marginal cost. Illustrate what pattern do you see?

f. Compare the column for standard total cost also the column for marginal cost. Explain the relationship
