Suppose that the total cost of making and selling x widgets is C = 32x + 560 dollars. What is the meaning of the slope in this case?

Slope = 32 Slope indicates the variable cost per unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that

Total cost is the summation pf fixed cost and variable cost.

Lets take fixed cost = F

Variable cost V=x v

v is the variable cost per unit.

Total cost = F + V

TC = F + x v

The slope of total cost line is variable cost per unit.

Given that

C = 32x + 560

So from above we can say that

F = 560

V = 32 x

Slope = 32 Slope indicates the variable cost per unit.
