6.2 TOTAL COSTS FUNCTION C
1. Total cost function is the total cost required to produce x units of a product. In short, it is the
cost required to conduct a business. 2. There are two types of costs:
(a) Fixed Costs: unchanged or unvaried costs, flat although the number of units of a product being produced varies
(b) Variable Costs: the costs which depend on the number of units of a product produced. For example, raw material, part time worker, etc
xC = Fixed Costs + Variable Costs
= Fixed Costs + (number of units) x (cost per unit)
Example: If the production costs for one unit of a children toy are RM5 while its fixed costs are RM7000, (a) determine the cost function (b) What is the total cost for producing 100 units of the above toy? Solution:
(a) The cost function, xC = fixed costs + ((number of units) x (cost per unit))
= 7000 + ( x x 5)
= 7000 + 5 x

(b) When 100x , xC = 7000 + 5 x
= 7000 + 5(100) = 7500 Therefore, the total cost for producing 100 units is RM7500.
6.2.1 Average Total Cost Function C
The average total cost function, C is the total cost for producing one unit of a product.
x

Example:
Given the total cost function, 402 qqC . What is the average total cost function?
Solution:
The average total cost function, qC = q
qC
= q
q 402
= q
402
6.2.2 Marginal or Ultimate Total Cost Function 'C
1. In business, the rate of change for a function is known as marginal function.
2. Marginal or ultimate total cost function, denoted by xC' is the rate of change for total cost
function over quantity Example:
Given the average cost function, x
xxC3
10
1
(a) What is the total cost function? (b) What is the ultimate total cost function? (c) Calculate the rate of change for cost (assuming the cost is in RM) when 4 units of product are
produced.

Hence, the rate of change for cost when 4 units of product are produced is RM0.80 per unit.
6.2.3 Minimizing Total Cost
1. In business and economic, the cost is usually reduced (minimized) to obtain the highest
(maximized) production revenue and total profit. Example:
If 100501.0 2 qqqC is the cost function.
(a) Obtain the average cost function (b) Determine the production level, q which minimize the average cost
(c) What is the minimum value for the average cost? Solution:
