Question:

The total cost of a firm is given by $C(x)=\frac{2x^3}{3}-4x^2+8x+7.$ The level of output at which marginal cost in minimum is :

Options:

8

15

$\frac{2}{3}$

12

Correct Answer:

$\frac{2}{3}$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → $\frac{2}{3}$

The total cost is,

$C(x)=2x^3-4x^2+8x+7$

$MC=\frac{d}{dx}C(x)=6x^2-8x+8$

for minimum, $MC'(c)=0$

$⇒12x-8=0$

$⇒x=\frac{2}{3}$
