zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

AFC = \frac{TFC}{q}

MC = \frac{d}{dq} TC

AVC = \frac{TVC}{q}

AC =  \frac{TC}{q}

Explanation:

The cost function is given as C=9+q^{2}.

The fixed cost here is 9, it will not be affected by the level of output.

The variable cost is q^{2}.

AFC = \frac{9}{q}

MC = \frac{d}{dq} TC

MC = \frac{d}{dq} C=9+q^{2}

MC = 2q

AVC = \frac{TVC}{q}

AVC = \frac{q^2}{q}

AVC = q

AC =  \frac{TC}{q}

AC =  \frac{[tex]C=9+q^{2}}{q}[/tex]

AC = \frac{9}{q} +q

b) Deceiving people by staying in the office and maintaining a "poker face" is not an option either.  "Poker face" cannot last forever.  One day, the true picture will show on the face.  Deception is not an art for business progress.
