    Answer: The answer is $715.19

    Explanation:

    The cost of producing the first item is given as $556.

    Therefore, the cost of producing 100 items or 99 additional items is roughly the same as:

    Take the marginal cost of 1 item = 1.61 - 0.002 (1) = 1.608.

    Multiply 1.608 by 99, we get:

    => 159.192.

    Adding this to the cost of producing the first item, we have:

    => 159.192 + 556

    = $715.192.

    Therefore, the cost of producing 100 items is approximately $715.19
