Andrew's Big Burger is a small restaurant that sells hamburgers. For Andrew, grills are a fixed input and workers are variable inputs. Assume that labor is Andrew's only variable cost. Andrew has a fixed cost of $100 per day and pays each of his workers $100 per day. 
Andrew's total output schedule and total cost at each level of labor are presented in the following table. 
Fill in the blanks to complete the Marginal Product column for each worker and the Marginal Cost column at each level of labor.

You can calculate it here by dividing the increase in total cost from hiring one more worker by the marginal product from hiring one more worker.)
