NOTE: The hourly cost function (and table) are costs per hour. Note, however, that the total costs in any given hour depend on the number of pizzas sold that hour. The function and table should therefore only be a function of one variable, Q, the number of pizzas. But it should, of course, take into account any other hourly fixed costs.
