Answer:

MC = 750

Step-by-step explanation:

Below is the given values:

Initial quantity = 8

Final quantity = 10

Initial total cost = $9500

Final total cost = $11000

Marginal cost = Change in total cost / Change in quantity

Change in total cost = 11000 - 9500 = 1500

Change in quantity = 10 - 8 = 2

Marginal cost = Change in total cost / Change in quantity

MC = 1500 / 2

MC = 750
