Answer:

At 1,000 units per day, ATC per unit is $0.45 per unit.

At 800 units per day, ATC per unit is $0.375 per unit.

At 500 units per day, ATC per unit is $0.55 per unit.

Explanation:

ATC is the average total cost. It refers to the total cost incurred, on average, in producing a single unit of production. It is calculated as follows.

ATC = Total Cost / Output

ATC per unit at the given levels of production is as follows.

When 1,000 units per day produced:

ATC = $450 / 1,000

       = $0.45 per unit

When 800 units per day produced:

ATC = $300 / 800

       = $0.375 per unit

When 500 units per day produced:

ATC = $275 / 500

        = $0.55 per unit
