Austin's total fixed cost is $3,600. Austin employs 20 workers and pays each worker $60. The average product of labor is 30, and the marginal product of the twentieth worker is 12. What is the marginal cost of the last unit produced by the last worker Austin hired? a $60 b $720 c $240 d $0.20 e $5

Answer:

$5

Explanation:

The marginal cost is the increase or decrase in total production cost if output is increased by one more unit.  The formula to obtain the marginal cost is change in costs/change in quantify.

MC= ´TC/ ´Q

Where:

´=Change

TC= Total cost

Q= quantity

If the price you charge per unit is greater than the marginal cost of producing one more unit, then you should produce that unit
