When the Rent-A-Limo Company negotiates its new labor contract it finds that the wages it must pay drivers have increased

How does this wage hike affect the Rent-A-Limo Company's average fixed cost, average variable cost, average total cost, and marginal cost?

The drivers' wages are a variable cost because the number of drivers needed varies with how many limousines are rented. The increase in wages will have no effect on the average fixed cost but the average variable cost will increase. The increase in average variable cost leads to an increase in the average total cost and an increase in the marginal cost.
