To find: The cost of the function.
a.
Answer to Problem 56E
The cost of the function is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The cost of ABC corporation to produce twenty color televisions is
Calculation:
The slope of the function is given by subtracting the cost of both the televisions and divided them by the number of televisions. Thus,
To find the cost of the function substitute the values in the given formula,
Since,
Therefore, the cost of the function is
b.
To find: The fixed cost and the variable cost per unit.
b.
Answer to Problem 56E
The fixed cost is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The cost of ABC corporation to produce twenty color televisions is
to produce sixty color televisions.
Calculation:
Fixed cost is the
Hence, from the above solution,
The
Therefore, the fixed cost is
