• A company manufactures 100 units of a product
per month. The total fixed cost per month is
Rs.5000 and marginal cost per unit is Rs.250.
Case-1 (100 units)
Variable cost 25,000
Fixed Cost 5,000
Total Cost 20000
Case-2 (101 units)
Variable cost 25,250
Fixed Cost 5,000
Total Cost 20150
Additional cost=250 is the Marginal Cost
30,000 30,250
