'Average cost is defined as a. total cost divided by marginal cost b. total cost divided by total output: C. total output times cost per unit. d. total output times marginal cost'
Shalini T.
(a) If $C(x)$ is the cost of producing $x$ units of a commodity, then the average cost per unit is $c(x)=C(x) / x$ . Show that if the average cost is a minimum, then the marginal cost equals the average cost. (b) If $C(x)=16,000+200 x+4 x^{3 / 2},$ in dollars, find (i) the cost, average cost, and marginal cost at a pro- duction level of 1000 units; (ii) the production level that will minimize the average cost; and (iii) the mini- mum average cost.
