Answer

The fixed cost is $\$1200$ The variable cost is $\$1500$ The marginal cost is given, $\$1500$.

Work Step by Step

As we saw in exercise a., the daily cost function is: $C(x)=1500x+1200$ The fixed cost is $\$1200$, because we have to pay it whether we want to manufacture only 1 piano or 12 pianos. The variable cost is $\$1500$, as it varies with the number of piano we manufacture. The marginal cost is given, $\$1500$.
