a. Write the function for monthly total costs


C(x)=C(x)=   

b. What is the fixed cost?

 

c.   What is the marginal cost?

 

d.  Interpret the marginal cost. 

 

  • Each additional coffee maker made decreases the cost by this many dollars.
  • If the number of coffee makers increases by this amount, the cost increases by $1.
  • Each additional coffee maker made yields this many dollars in cost.
  • If the number of units made is increased by this amount, the cost decreases by $1.



e. What is C(300)C(300) ?

 

 

  

f.  Interpret C(300)C(300)   

 

 

  • When this many coffee makers are produced the cost is $300300.
  • For every additional coffee maker produced the cost increases by this much.
  • This is the cost (in dollars) of producing 300 coffee makers.
  • For each $1 increase in cost this many more coffee makers can be produced.




g.   Write the function for total revenue

 

 R(x)=R(x)=
