Answer:

a. Average cost equation

\bar c=0.02Q+0.65+250Q^{-1}

b. Q = 112 units

c. Average cost (Q = 112 units) = GHS 5.12

d. Usually, the actual production capacity.

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use $ as the currency symbol for GHS.

a) We have:

- Variable costs: 0.65Q

- Fixed costs: 250

- Special costs: 0.02Q^2

Then we can write the total cost equation as:

C(Q)=0.65Q+250+0.02Q^2

The average cost function can be calculated dividing the total cost equation by Q. Then, we have:

\bar c=\dfrac{C(Q)}{Q}=\dfrac{0.02Q^2+0.65Q+250}{Q}=0.02Q+0.65+250Q^{-1}

b) The output level that minimize the average cost can be calculated deriving the average cost equation and making it equal to zero:

\dfrac{d\bar c}{dQ}=0.02+(-1)250Q^{-2}=0.02-250Q^{-2}=0\\\\\\\dfrac{250}{Q^2}=0.02\\\\\\Q^2=250/0.02=12,500\\\\Q=\sqrt{12,500}\approx 112

The output level that minimizes cost is Q=112 units.

c. The average cost of production for the output level of 112 is:

\bar c=0.02Q+0.65+250Q^{-1}\\\\\bar c(112)=0.02*112+0.65+250/112\\\\\bar c(112)=2.24+0.65+2.23\\\\\bar c(112)=5.12

d. The limitation is not specified, by this models have a range of Q values where it is valid. These range is usually dependent on the scale of the production. The factory will have a maximum level of production, and over this level, the cost equation is different as other investments are needed.

What is the height of a triangle that has an area of 60 yards^2 and a base of a length of 12 yards?
zmey [24]
For a triangle:
A=\frac{b \times h}{2}
60=\frac{12\times h}{2}
120=12h
h=\frac{120}{12}
h=10yrd

Order 0,|-1|,|9|, |-6 1/2|
Softa [21]
|-6 1/2|, |-1|, |0|, |9|, these are simply going from smallest to largest, once you get past 0 on a number line it goes back by one, for example 0,-1,-2,-3 and so forth, don’t think of negatives like whole numbers
