Answer 1

Given:

The cost of producing 5 units=Rs.567

The cost of producing 6 units=Rs.768

To find:

The marginal cost of producing the 6th unit

Solution:

The marginal cost of producing the 6th unit is Rs.201.

We can calculate the cost by following the given method-

We know that the marginal cost of producing one more (nth) unit is the difference between producing n and (n-1) units, where n is the number of units.

So, the marginal cost of producing the 6th unit is the difference between the cost of producing 6 units and 5 units.

The marginal cost of producing the 6th unit=Cost of producing the 6 units-Cost of producing 5 units

We are given that the cost of producing 5 units=Rs.567

The cost of producing 6 units=Rs.768

Using the values,

The marginal cost of producing the 6th unit=768-567

=Rs.201

Therefore, the marginal cost of producing the 6th unit is Rs.201.
