Cost of Producing DVDs
The total weekly cost in dollars incurred by Herald Media Corp. in producing x DVDs is given by the total cost function
C(x) = 2,500 + 2.8x (0 ≤ x ≤ 8,000)
(a)
What is the marginal cost (in dollars/DVD) when
x = 4,500?
$ /DVD
What is the marginal cost (in dollars/DVD) when
x = 3,500?
$ /DVD
(b)
Find the average cost function C.
C(x) =
Find the marginal average cost function C '.
C '(x) =
(c)
Using the results from part (b), what amount (in dollars/DVD) does the average cost incurred by Herald in producing a DVD approach when the level of production is very high?
lim x→∞ C (x) = $ /DVD
The marginal cost of manufacturing x yards of a certain fabric is C''(x) = 3 -0.01x + 0.000006x2 (in dollars per yard). Find the increase in cost if the production level is raised from 2500 to 8000 yards.
Increase in cost = $
Thank you so much for your help.
Use the cost function to find the production level at which the average cost is a minimum.
x = ___________
For this production level, show that the marginal cost and average cost are equal. Use a graphing utility to graph the average cost function and verify your results.
Marginal Cost: $______
Average Cost: $______
