Cost Function Computation Guide
1. An economist estimated that the cost function of a single product is
C (Q) = 50 +25Q+30Q SQUARED+5Q CUBED
Based on this information determine:
a. The fixed cost of producing 10 units of output.
Fixed cost is the cost that does not change with the change in output. Hence, even though the production (Q) is zero, the amount is still the same. Referring to the cost function at hand, the fixed cost is 50. Even with the assumption that Q is zero, it is still the same.
