Answer to Question 1

Total revenue is calculated by taking the quantity of a product sold and multiplying by its price. Thus, the firm's total revenue is 350  8 = 2,800.

Answer to Question 2

If the firm decides to produce the 51st pizza, its average total cost will fall because the marginal cost is lower than the average total cost.
