The average cost function for skateboards is given by: AC = (15)^2 - 30(15) + 350 = 225 - 450 + 350 = 125. The average cost at the minimum level of output is $125 per skateboard. The marginal cost function for skateboards is given by: MC = 3(15)^2 - 60(15) + 350 = 675 - 900 + 350 = 125 So, at q = 15, MC = AC = 125. this marginal cost curve intersects average cost at its minimum value.  Draw and label the graph showing the average and marginal cost curves for skateboard production.

Question

The average cost function for skateboards is given by:

AC = (15)^2 - 30(15) + 350

= 225 - 450 + 350 = 125.

The average cost at the minimum level of output is $125 per skateboard.

The marginal cost function for skateboards is given by:

MC = 3(15)^2 - 60(15) + 350

= 675 - 900 + 350 = 125

So, at q = 15, MC = AC = 125.

this marginal cost curve intersects average cost at its minimum value.

 Draw and label the graph showing the average and marginal cost curves for skateboard production.
