a manufacture determined a marginal cost function dc/dq below, where q is the number of units produced.If the marginal cost is $87.50 when q is 50 units and the fixed costs are $7000,what is the average cost of producing 500 units. dc/dq= 0.015q^2-0.6q+80

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help me with this problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you have a answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right @shreeya13

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i want the solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help me with this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i can but that dc/dq in the end of question is the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no it is marginal cost fuction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

about which we talked in first line that is given

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok lemme see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got it.....dc/dq= eqn in q integrate wrt q of eqn in q you know that its a indefinite integraion you'll get a Constant as c you have to find c by putting q=50 then you'll get c..put that in that eqn and add 7000 then put q=500

OpenStudy (anonymous):

any idea what i said?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@shreeya13

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait let me try

OpenStudy (anonymous):

try to ignore the first message!!! :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is giving the constant in negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait...lemme see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait...whats the prob in negative cons?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3093212.5 is this the answer ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dint solved that...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so do u want me to solve?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes please :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 589812.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is your constant value

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-187.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i m getting 3787.5 as when q=50 then marginal cost is 87.50

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you sure with your integration part?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 0.005q^3-0.3q^2+80q+constant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got the same....maybe i got my calc wrong!! :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i got the answer 593212.8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so ur answer is right!!! :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanx a lot for your help :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no prob (:
