    Study Notes

    Marginal Cost Function

    • Marginal cost (MC) is given by the function: MC = 2(2x + 9)-1/2
    • x represents the number of units produced.

    Average Cost Calculation

    • Find the total cost (TC) by integrating the marginal cost function.
    • The fixed cost (FC) is Rs 4.
    • Calculate the total cost for 8 units of production.
    • Average cost (AC) = (TC + FC)/x
    • Substitute x = 8 into the formulas to find the average cost for 8 units of production.
