उत्तर
Given, total cost function is
C = 47x + 300x2 – x4
Average cost CA = `"C"/"A"`
∴ CA = `(47 x + 300x^2 - x^4)/x`
= `(x(47 + 300x - x^3))/x`
∴ CA = 47 + 300x – x3
∴ `"dC"_"A"/"dx"` = 0 + 300x – 3x3
= 300x – 3x3
= 3(100 – x2)
Since average cost CA is a decreasing function `"dC"_"A"/"dx" < 0`
∴ 3(100 – x2) < 0
∴ 100 – x2 < 0
∴ 100 < x2
∴ x2 > 100
∴ x > 10 or x < – 10
But x < – 10 is not possible .....[∵ x > 0]
∴ x > 10
∴ The average cost CA is decreasing for x > 10.

A manufacturing company produces x items at a total cost of ₹ 40 + 2x. Their price per item is given as p = 120 – x. Find the value of x for which revenue is increasing
Solution: Total cost C = 40 + 2x and Price p = 120 – x
Revenue R = `square`
Differentiating w.r.t. x,
∴ `("dR")/("d"x) = square`
Since Revenue is increasing,
∴ `("dR")/("d"x)` > 0
∴ Revenue is increasing for `square`
A manufacturing company produces x items at a total cost of ₹ 40 + 2x. Their price per item is given as p = 120 – x. Find the value of x for which elasticity of demand for price ₹ 80.
Solution: Total cost C = 40 + 2x and Price p = 120 – x
p = 120 – x
∴ x = 120 – p
Differentiating w.r.t. p,
`("d"x)/("dp")` = `square`
∴ Elasticity of demand is given by η = `- "P"/x*("d"x)/("dp")`
∴ η = `square`
When p = 80, then elasticity of demand η = `square`
