Suppose that a software company produces CDs (computer disks) at a cost of $4 each, and fixed costs are $50. The cost function, the total cost of producing x disks, will then be C(x) = 4x + 50, and the average
cost per unit will be the total cost divided by the number of units.
4x + 50
AC(x) =
(a) Find lim AC(x), which is the unit or marginal cost.
x + c0
lim AC(x) =
(b) Sketch the graph of AC(x), showing the horizontal asymptote. [Note: Your graph should be an illustration of the general business principle for linear cost functions: In the long run, average cost approaches
marginal cost.]
