3. The **marginal cost** of producing a product is the cost of producing one more unit.If you produce $ n $ units, then it is essentially the instantaneous rate of change of the total cost after producing $ n $ units, or the cost to produce one more item ($ n + 1 $).a) Given the total cost of producing $ x $ units $ C(x) = 10,000 + 5x + 0.01x^2 $, calculate the marginal cost at $ x = 500 $. Include units of measure.b) What is the total cost of making 500 units? 501 units? How do these values support your answer found in part (a)?

Answer: Given: Total cost function: Cx=10,000+5x+0.01x2 Calculation: (a). The marginal cost of a…

For a small country called Boxland, the equation of the domestic demand curve for cardboard is QD = 210 − 2P, where QD represents the domestic quantity of cardboard demanded, in tons, and P represents the price of a ton of cardboard. For Boxland, the equation of the domestic supply curve for cardboard is QS = –90 + 3P, where QS represents the domestic quantity of cardboard supplied, in tons, and P again represents the price of a ton of cardboard. . If Boxland prohibits international trade in cardboard, then the equilibrium price of a ton of cardboard is
