### Description of the Cost Graphs**Graph 1: Total Cost, Total Variable Cost, and Total Fixed Cost**- **Axes:** The vertical axis represents costs in dollars ($), ranging from 0 to 300. The horizontal axis represents quantity (Q), ranging from 0 to 20.- **Curves:** - **TC (Total Cost):** An upward-sloping curve that starts at the total fixed cost and increases as quantity increases. - **TVC (Total Variable Cost):** An upward-sloping curve starting at 0, rising with quantity, but at a slower rate compared to TC. - **TFC (Total Fixed Cost):** A horizontal line indicating constant cost regardless of the quantity produced. **Graph 2: Marginal Cost, Average Total Cost, Average Variable Cost, and Average Fixed Cost**- **Axes:** The vertical axis represents costs in dollars ($), ranging from 0 to 30. The horizontal axis represents quantity (Q), ranging from 0 to 20.- **Curves:** - **MC (Marginal Cost):** A U-shaped curve, initially decreasing, reaching a minimum then increasing. - **AC (Average Total Cost):** A U-shaped curve, broader than MC, reaching a minimum at a specific quantity. - **AVC (Average Variable Cost):** A U-shaped curve similar to AC but lies below it. - **AFC (Average Fixed Cost):** A downward-sloping curve, decreasing as quantity increases. ### Multiple Choice Question06.

Assume that it costs a company approximately C(x) = 400,000 + 160x + 0.003x² dollars to manufacture x smartphones in an hour. (a) Find the marginal cost function. Use it to estimate how fast the cost is increasing when x = 10,000. $ per smartphone Compare this with the exact cost of producing the 10,001st smartphone. The cost is increasing at a rate of $ (b) Find the average cost function C and the average cost to produce the first 10,000 smartphones. C(x) (10,000) = = per smartphone. The exact cost of producing the 10,001st smartphone is $ $ (c) Using your answers to parts (a) and (b), determine whether the average cost is rising or falling at a production level of 10,000 smartphones. The marginal cost from (a) is ---Select--- than the average cost from (b). This means that the average cost is ---Select--- Thus, there is a difference of $ at a production level of 10,000 smartphones.

A study of 86 savings and loan associations in six northwestern states yielded the following cost function. C� = 3.69 - 0.007999Q� + 0.000005359Q2�2 + 25.0X1�1 (3.69) (3.08) (3.42) (3.50) where C� = average operating expense ratio, expressed as a percentage and defined as total operating expense ($ million) divided by total assets ($ million) times 100 percent. Q� = output; measured by total assets ($ million) X1�1 = ratio of the number of branches to total assets ($ million) Note: The number in parentheses below each coefficient is its respective t-statistic.
