Output from a process contains 0.02 defective unit. Defective units that go undetectedinto i nal assemblies cost $25 each to replace. An inspection process, which would detectand remove all defectives, can be established to test these units. However, the inspector,who can test 20 units per hour, is paid $8 per hour, including fringe benei ts. Should aninspection station be established to test all units?a. What is the cost to inspect each unit?b. What is the benei t (or loss) from the inspection process?

Why Marginal Cost (MC) is 1?? I did my calcutation and is 2. I replace on fucntion Q = L + (5)2 = L + 25, so L = Q - 25 and put on TC = 2(Q - 25) + 20(5) So TC = 2Q - 50 + 100 = 2Q + 50, then MC = dTC / dQ = 2 You may be replaced TC = wL + rK, but this function no contains Q variable Please confirm that.
