  • Managerial Economics: Cost Function

    Referring to the cost function provided, since total cost is fixed cost + variable cost, TC = 50 + Variable cost; hence variable cost is that part of the cost function which is (25Q + 30Q 2 + 5Q3).

  • Building a composite function with multivariate

    Ans: when we conduct the composite function with mulivariate, we always need to decide the intermediate variable. And that intermediate variable may be a single variable or a function of other variables. In this case, A=(pi)*r^2 and V =A*h.

    In equations, the best clue to determine if it is a function if the degree of the dependent variable is greater than 1.

  • Comparison of passing parameters by Value and Reference

    A simple example of when passing parameters by value is better is when you are passing a single (or few) value(s) or a variable to a function. In this case, the called function will need to allocate few resources for the parameters.
