Problem 2.5 The cost function for Acme Laundry is TC(q) = 10 + 10q + q^2 so its marginalprod cost function is MC(q) = 10 + 2q where q is tons of laundry cleaned. Derive the firm's average cost and average variable cost curves. What q should the firm choose so as to maximize its profit if the market price is p? How much does it produce if the competitive market price is p = 50?
Problem 2.5 The cost function for Acme Laundry is
TC(q) = 10 + 10q + q^2
so its marginalprod cost function is
MC(q) = 10 + 2q
where q is tons of laundry cleaned. Derive the firm's average cost and average variable cost
The sum of all costs, both fixed and variable, is known as the Total cost. The cost per unit produced in a production run is called the Average cost. It stands for the typical sum of money spent on a product's production. The Marginal cost is the difference in overall production costs brought on by adding one extra unit to the production process.
