I am confused by "$60 a minute". Could you mean fixed cost is simply $60.
Let me assume just that. Fixed cost=$60.

So, when output=1, then
total cost = 10+60=70,
marginal cost = 10,
AFC=60/1=60
AVC=10/1=10
ATC=70/1=70

When output=2, (assuming MC=10) then
Total cost = 20+60=80
MC = 10
AFC = 60/2 = 30
AVC = 20/2 = 10
ATC = 80/2 = 40
