Calculate total cost, average fixed cost, average variable cost, average total cost, and marginal cost for each number of apps written per week. What number of applications is the most efficient to write each week?
Explanation / Answer
Answer
TC=TVC+TFC
FC=TC-VC
AFC=FC/Q
AVC=VC/Q
ATC=TC/Q
MC of n the unit=(TC of n units -TC of p units )/(n-p)...............n>p
the number of applications is the most efficient to write each week is 3 because the average total cost is minimum at this quantity.
