Given the total cost function for a St Lucian Construction Company is: TC = 1250 + 10Q-0.9Q2 + 0.06 Q? Where Q is output in thousands (For example if output is 5000 then Q = 5) (a) Find the rate of output that results in minimum average variable cost. What is the average variable cost at this level of output?
