Let the Cost of production, C, depend on the number of units produced, x, according to the equation.
Find the production level which minimizes the Average Cost,
.
Since AC depends on only one variable, x, we can differentiate to find the minimum:
Setting this result to 0, we have
, or
Taking the cube root of both sides, we have x = 40 units.
