A firm has two plants that produce identical output. The cost functions are $C_{1}=224 q-14 q^{2}+0.5 q^{3}$ and $C_{2}=224 q-12 q^{2}+q^{3}$ a. At what output levels does the average cost curve of each plant reach its minimum? b. If the firm wants to produce 14 units of output, how much should it produce in each plant? $\mathrm{C}$
