Ex 6.1, 15 The total cost C(๐ฅ) in Rupees associated with the production of ๐ฅ units of an item is given by ๐ถ(๐ฅ) = 0.007๐ฅ^3 โ 0.003๐ฅ2 + 15๐ฅ + 4000. Find the marginal cost when 17 units are produced.Since Marginal Cost is Rate of change in Total Cost w.r.t No of units produced Let MC be marginal cost So, MC = ๐ ๐ช/๐ ๐ Given, Total Cost = C(๐ฅ) =0.007๐ฅ^3โ0.003๐ฅ^2+15๐ฅ+4000" " We need to find marginal Cost when 17 units are produced i.e. MC when ๐ฅ = 17 MC = ๐(๐ถ(๐ฅ))/๐๐ฅ MC = ๐(0.007๐ฅ^3 โ 0.003๐ฅ^2 + 15๐ฅ + 4000)/๐๐ฅ MC = ๐(0.007๐ฅ^3 )/๐๐ฅ โ ๐(0.003๐ฅ^2 )/๐๐ฅ+ ๐(15๐ฅ)/๐๐ฅ+ ๐(4000)/๐๐ฅ MC = 0.007 ๐(๐ฅ^3 )/๐๐ฅ โ0.003 ๐(๐ฅ^2 )/๐๐ฅ + 15๐(๐ฅ)/๐๐ฅ+0 MC = 0.007 ร 3๐ฅ^2โ0.003 ร2๐ฅ+15 MC = 0.021๐ฅ^2โ0.006๐ฅ+15 We need to find MC when ๐ฅ=17 Putting ๐=๐๐ MC = 0.021(17)^2โ0.006(17)+15 MC = 6.069 โ 0.102 + 15 MC = 20.967 Hence, the Required Marginal cost is Rs. 20.967
