Here are the solutions to the problems:


: Quadratic Cost Function

The average cost (AC) function is quadratic, so it can be represented as AC=aQ2+bQ+cAC = aQ^2 + bQ + c, where QQ is the output.
We are given three data points:

  1. For the 30th unit, AC=N400AC = N400. So, (Q=30,AC=400)(Q=30, AC=400).
  2. For the 50th unit, AC=N250AC = N250. So, (Q=50,AC=250)(Q=50, AC=250).
  3. For the 60th unit, AC=N550AC = N550. So, $(Q=60, AC=5
