Cost

In a manufacturing process where y = C(x) represents the cost of producing x units, the elasticity of cost is defined as

\(E(x)=\frac{\text { marginal cost }}{\text { average cost }}=\frac{C^{\prime}(x)}{C(x) / x}=\frac{x}{y} \frac{d y}{d x}\)

Find the cost function when the elasticity function is

\(E(x)=\frac{20 x-y}{2 y-10 x}\)

where

C(100) = 500

and \(x \geq 100\).

Text Transcription:

E(x)=marginal cost/average cost=C’(x)/C(x)/x=x/y dy/dx

E(x)=20x-y/2y-10x

x geq 100
