An on-demand printing company has monthly overhead costs of $2,200 in rent, $380 in
electricity, S65 for phone service, and $240 for advertising and marketing. The printing
cost is $30 per thousand pages for paper and ink. The average cost for printing.x
thousand pages can be represented by the function
2,885 +30x
C(x)=
X
For a given month, if the printing company could print an unlimited number of pages,
what value would the average cost per thousand pages approach? What does this mean
in the context of the problem?
O The average cost would approach infinity. The more pages the company prints, the
higher the average cost.
o The average cost would approach $30 per thousand pages or
equivalently $0.03 per page. This is the cost per page in the absence
of fixed costs.
o The average cost would approach $2,885 per thousand pages. This is
the total of the fixed monthly costs.
o The average cost would approach $0 per thousand pages. The more
pages the company prints, the lower the average cost.

Explanation:

Comment

The formula used to figure out the costs is

C(x) = 2885 + 30x

2885 is the total of the fixed costs -

• Rent 2200
• Electricity 380
• Phone 65
• Marketing 240
• Total 2885

Now the problem gets sort of complicated. If the company could print an unlimited amount of pages, the 2885 remains the same, no matter what.

But x gets larger and larger. and so C(x) gets larger and larger.

Answer

Therefore the average cost would approach infinity.
