The cost of producing a number of items x is given by C=mx+b, in which b is the fixed cost and m is the variable cost (the cost of producing one more item).
\n" ); document.write( "(a) if the fixed cost is $40 and the variable cost is $10, write the cost equation.B=40......M=10
\n" ); document.write( "C=10X+40
\n" ); document.write( "(b) Graph the cost equation
\n" ); document.write( "PUT DIFFERENT VALUES FOR X AND FIND C...SAY X=5...C=10*5+40=90...ETC...
\n" ); document.write( "X....0..........5...........10
\n" ); document.write( "C....40.........90..........140
