QuestionWhat is the fixed cost in the function $C(x)=0.75 x+3500$ for producing $x$ boxes of detergent? A) 3500 B) 0.75 C) 0.75x D) y

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The total cost function is $C(x)=0.75 x+3500$ . The function is linear3. The fixed cost is the constant term in the function4. The variable cost is the coefficient of $x$ in the function

STEP 2

The fixed cost is the constant term in the function. This is the cost that does not change with the number of boxes produced.
$Fixed\, cost =3500$

STEP 3

The variable cost is the coefficient of $x$ in the function. This is the cost that changes with the number of boxes produced.
$Variable\, cost =0.75$

STEP 4

According to the given options, the fixed cost of the function is represented by option A, which is $3500.
The fixed cost of producing the laundry detergent is $3500.
