Question

For manufacturing x units, labour cost is 150 – 54x and processing cost is x2. Price of each unit is p = 10800 – 4x2. Find the value of x for which Total cost is decreasing.

Solution

Total cost C(x) = Processing cost + labour cost

C(x) = x2 + 150 - 54x

C(x) = x2 - 54x + 150

`("dc")/("dx")` = 2x - 54

Total cost is decreasing
If `("dc")/("dx")`< 0

i.e if 2x - 54 < 0

i.e if 2x < 54

i.e if x < 27

Total cost C is decreasing for x < 27.
