Question

MANUFACTURING

Answer 1

Answer:

Total cost is $205328

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

cost C(q) = 0.1 q^3 - 0.5 q^2 + 500 q + 200

current units q = 4 ( 4000 units )

The current level of production is 4000 ( 4 )units, and manufacturer is planning to upgrade this to 4100 ( 4.1 ) units

C'(q) = 3 * 0.1 q^2 - 2 * 0.5 q + 500

C'(q) = 0.3 q2 - q + 500

C(4.1) - C(4) ≈ C’(4) x Δq

≈ C’(4) x 0.1

≈ ( 0.3 * 4^2 - 4 + 500 ) x 0.1

≈    (  0.3 * 16 - 4 + 500 ) x 0.1

≈    500.8 x 0.1 ≈      50.08

total cost = 4100 x   50.08 = $205328
