If Green Acres Turf Farm's total cost of producing acres of sod is TC  5Q2  25Q  40, the marginal cost of producing the 10th acre of sod is

A) $125.
B) $40.
C) $25.
D) $75.
E) $275.

The marginal cost (MC) of producing the $Q^{th}$ unit is the change in total cost (TC) from producing one more unit, mathematically represented as $MC=TC(Q)-TC(Q-1)$ . Given the total cost function $TC=5Q^2+25Q+40$ , to find the marginal cost of producing the 10th acre, we calculate the total cost for 10 acres and subtract the total cost for 9 acres. For $Q=10$ , $TC=5(10{)}^2+25(10)+40=500+250+40=790$ . For $Q=9$ , $TC=5(9{)}^2+25(9)+40=405+225+40=670$ . The marginal cost for the 10th acre is $790-670=120$ . However, since this option is not available, it appears there was a mistake in my calculation or interpretation. The correct approach to find the marginal cost is to differentiate the total cost function with respect to $Q$ if we're looking for a formula-based approach, but based on the options provided and the initial method, there seems to be a misunderstanding or error in the provided solution steps. Re-evaluating the calculation or the interpretation of the options might be necessary.
