Question
Chapter 5, Problem 5.2BE
To determine
Variable Cost: The cost which is not fixed is called as variable cost. This cost is directly proportional to the level of output produced, it increase with increase in output and vice versa.
Fixed Cost: It is a cost which is constant in the short run, it is not related to any change in the production of goods or service, it will be fixed disregarding of increase or decrease in output. Fixed cost is generally incurred on fixed assets in long run.
To determine: The behavior of fixed cost and variable cost with the help of diagram.

Suppose that the total cost function, in dollars, for the production of x units of a product is given by the equation shown below.
C(x) = 4,500 + 30x + 0.2x²
Then the average cost of producing x items is represented by the following equation.
total cost
4,500
C(x)
+ 30 + 0.2x
(a) Find the instantaneous rate of change of average cost with respect to the number of units produced, at any level of production.
(b) Find the level of production at which this rate of change equals zero.
X =
(c) At the value found in part (b), find the instantaneous rate of change of cost and find the average cost.
instantaneous rate of change of cost

Please calculate the Economic Order Quantity under the following scenario:
Annual demand= 80,000, Order cost = 31, Product unit cost = 20 and Holding cost = 4 (or 20% of Product unit cost)
Use a cost-volume graph to determine the type of cost behavior exhibited in Groups A, B, and C. In the graph, volume should range from 0 to 24,000 units (in 4,000 unit increments), and cost should range from $0 to
$35,000 (in $5,000 increments).
