The at a given production level x approximates the cost of producing the (x + 1)st or next item.

Calculate total profit when total revenue is $9000 and the total cost is $8700

calculate and plot the following: No of Units                         Total Cost 0                                              5 1                                              9 2                                              12 3                                               15 4                                               20                              5                                               30 6                                                42   a) Variable cost b) Fixed Cost c) Average Fixed Cost d) Average Variable Cost e) Maginal Cost

A   Use the profit maximizing rule, MR ≥ MC, buy 300 bags. B   Use the profit maximizing rule, MR ≥ MC, buy 200 bags. C   Use Qb = F/(MR-AVC) where Qb is the breakeven quantity to be determined, the optimal quantity of bags is 300. D   Use Qb = F/(MR-AVC) where Qb is the breakeven quantity to be determined, the optimal quantity of bags is 200.
