The total cost of producing xx guitars is given by the function:

C(x)=6800+8x−1350=5450+8xC(x)=6800+8x−1350=5450+8x

The average cost function is:

A(x)=C(x)x=5450+8xx=5450x+8A(x)=C(x)x=5450+8xx=5450x+8

So:

The average cost of producing 130 guitars is:

A(130)=5450130+8≈$49.923A(130)=5450130+8≈$49.923

Hence:

Option (f) is correct.
