A company produces 'x' units of geometry boxes in a day. If the raw material of one geometry box costs ₹2 more than square of the number of boxes produced in a day, cost of transportation is half the number of boxes produced in a day, also the cost incurred on storage is ₹150 per day. The marginal cost (in ₹) when 70 geometry boxes are produced in a day is: |
14,852.50 14,795 14,702.50 5,087.50 |
14,702.50 |
The correct answer is Option (3) → 14,702.50 Raw material cost = $x(x^2+2)=x^3+2x$ Transportation cost = $\frac{x}{2}$ Storage cost = 150 Total cost: $C(x)=x^3+2x+\frac{x}{2}+150$ $=x^3+\frac{5x}{2}+150$ Marginal Cost = $\frac{d}{dx}C(x)$ $=\frac{d}{dx}(x^3+\frac{5x}{2}+150)$ $=3x^2+\frac{5}{2}$ MC at $x=70$ $⇒3(70)^2+\frac{5}{2}$ $=14700+2.5$ $=14702.5$ |
