Question

Hammond Lumber has just changed from prefabricating 8 gazebos to 10 gazebos (units). Their total costs changed from $9,500 to $11,000. What is the marginal cost for Hammond Lumber?

Answer 1

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
