Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The presence of the variable Q in the total cost equation indicates that the total cost is dependent on the quantity of dogs groomed. As the quantity of dogs groomed increases, the cost of each additional dog groomed may increase due to the need for additional resources such as time, labor, and supplies. Therefore, the total cost curve will become steeper as more dogs are groomed.
