In this item, let us rewrite the given equation as,

    q = 5l + 15k

where q is the cost, k is the capital cost, and l is the production cost. If we are to determine the total cost function, we simply have to multiply the given values or price for capital and labor such that the equation becomes,

   q = (5)(8) + (15)(20)
