b. The total cost of a company is given us where x is
output. Determine the average cost, the marginal cost, the marginal cost when 15 units are
produced and the actual cost of producing 15 units.
c. A company produced a product with $18,000 as fixed costs. The variable cost is
estimated to be 30% of the total revenue when it is sold at a rate of $20 per unit. Find the total
revenue, total cost and the profit functions.
