1. Cowboy Metal Cutting produces a laser-cut part based on customer orders. The number of units requested on a customer's order for the laser-cut part can vary from 1 to 150. Cowboy has determined that three different cutting machines can be used to produce this part. An economic analysis of production costs has produced the data in the table below: Cutting Tool ID Fixed Cost Per Order Variable Cost Per Unit CT1 $300 $9.00 CT2 $750 $3.00 CT3 $500 $5.00 a. Plot the total production cost of each tool against the number of units produced. For all order sizes between 1 and 150, determined the most economical cutting machine for an order of that size. b. For an order size 75, what is the minimum selling price of each unit if the company desires a profit of 15%?

Example The following equations shows the effect of time (x) in year and salt concentration (y) in ppm on the total cost due to corrosion failure for a particular operation 12500 CT = 4x + + 2.5 y + 500 ху Determine the optimum value of x and y, and calculate the total cost. Solution 12500 = 0 x?y 12500 3125 x2 = 4y and ac, = 2.5 ду 12500 = 0 xy2 12500 5000 2.5 y2 Then 5000 (3125 y? у-20 рpm And x= 0.625 year The total cost will be 20505 at the optimum point Н.W Repeat the previous example if the total cost equation is C, = x? + xy + 2y² + 200

Assume that it costs a company approximately C(x) = 400,000 + 180x + 0.001x² 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 $ per smartphone. The exact cost of producing the 10,001st smartphone is $ Thus, there is a difference of $ (b) Find the average cost function C and the average cost to produce the first 10,000 smartphones. C(x) C(10,000) $ (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--- O than the average cost from (b). This means that the average cost is ---Select--- O at a production level of 10,000 smartphones.
