A firm has a fixed production cost of $4000. For the first 100 units of production, the firm has a marginal cost of $50 per unit produced. Producing more than 100 units has a marginal cost of $70 per unit produced. The firm cannot produce more than 150 units. How much does it cost to produce at q=0? at q=50? at q=100? at q=125? at q=150? Graph the firm’s marginal cost function

An accountant for a car rental company was recently asked to report the firm's costs of producing various levels of output. The accountant knows that the most recent estimate available of the firm's cost function is C(Q) = 100 + 10Q + Q^2, where costs are measured in thousands of dollars and output is measured in thousands of hours rented. a. What is the average fixed cost of producing 2 units of output? b. What is the average variable cost of producing 2 units of output? c. What is the average total cost of producing 2 units of output? d. What is the marginal cost of producing 2 units of output? e. What is the relation between the answers to (a), (b), and (c) above? Is this a general property of average cost curves?
1. If the average cost of a plant to produce a "q" unit is explained by the functions below this: C = 0.0003q2 - 0.001q + 4 + 20.000/q a. What is the marginal cost function of product q?b. What is the marginal cost when producing 10 units?c. What is the marginal cost when producing 50 units? 2. If the average cost of a plant to produce a "q" unit is explained by the functions below this: C = 0.0001q2 - 0.002q + 5 + 10.000/q a. What is the marginal cost function of product q?b. What is the marginal cost when producing 20 units?c. What is the marginal cost when producing 100 units?
Can you think of a cost function, so that the marginal cost at any x is exactly equal to the cost of producing the (x + 1)st item? If yes, describe as many such functions as possible. If not, show why such a function cannot exist.
Consider the following long run cost function: TC = 8Q3 - 96Q² + 32Q Derive the expressions for marginal cost and average cost. What is the range of output over which production shows increasing returns to scale, and the range of output over which production shows decreasing returns to scale?
Derive an expression for the firm’s total cost function given that w= 4 and r= 6
If C(x) the total cost function of producing x items, then the marginal cost at x = a, given by C'(a), is the approximate cost to produce the (a + 1)st item. If the cost of producing x golf carts is C(x) = 0.001x³ + 0.2x2 + 39x + 200 what is the cost of producing 20 golf carts? C(20) = $ What the marginal cost when x = 20? C'(20) = $
