The Mini-Case "Economies of Scale at Google describes economies of scale for Google Cloud Storage. The cost function for this service is well-approximated byKC(q)-F+cqwhere C is total cost, F is fixed cost, c is a constant and q is output. What is marginal cost for this cost function? What are the average fixed cost, average variablecost, and average cost? Over what range of output does Google have economies of scale?The marginal cost function (MC) isThe average fixed cost function (AFC) isAFC-The average variable cost function (AVC) isAVC-MC-CThe average cost function (AC) isAC-(Property format your expressions using the tools in the palette.
