Solution

The correct option is D Rs $420$
$T C = A C \times Q$
So we have;
$300 \times 5 = 1500$
$320 \times 6 = 1920$
Thus, $M C = {T C}_{n} - {T C}_{(} n - 1)$
$M C = 1920 - 1500 = 420$
Thus, Marginal cost of producing $6 t h$ unit is $R s .420$ .

A firm's average total cost is Rs300 at 5 units of output and Rs320 at 6 units of output. The marginal cost of producing the 6th unit is ______.

The correct option is D Rs420TC=AC×QSo we have;300×5=1500320×6=1920 Thus, MC=TCn−TC(n−1)MC=1920−1500=420Thus, Marginal cost of producing 6th unit is Rs.420.

The correct option is D Rs $420$
$T C = A C \times Q$

$320 \times 6 = 1920$
Thus, $M C = {T C}_{n} - {T C}_{(} n - 1)$
$M C = 1920 - 1500 = 420$
Thus, Marginal cost of producing $6 t h$ unit is $R s .420$ .
