4 12.50 65.00
5 10.00 68.00
6 8.37 73.33
7 7.14 80.00
8 6.25 87.50

Answer:

b. 4 units of output

Step-by-step explanation:

MC and AVC have the following relationship:

a. MC is above AVC when AVC is rising

b. MC is below AVC when AVC is falling

c. MC = AVC when AVC is at its minimum

Thus, MC would intersect the AVC curve at its minimum point. Since AVC is minimum at 4 units of output equal to 65. It means MC intersects AVC at 4 units of output.
