Number of cakes you bake, Q | Total Cost of baked cake ($), TC | Marginal Cost of cake, MC= Change in TC/Change in Q |

1 | 10 | 10 |
2 | 22 | 12 |
3 | 36 | 14 |
4 | 52 | 16 |
5 | 70 | 18 |

Baking the cake is beneficial as long as marginal cost of baking a cake is lower than cost of purchase i.e. $23. We can see that Marginal cost of baking a cake is lower than cost of purchasing at Q=7 and Marginal Cost of baking a cake is higher than cost of purchasing the cake at Q=8.
So, optimal number of cakes to be baked=7
Number of cakes to be purchased=10-7=3
b)
Cost of baking 7 cakes=$112 (Refer above table)
Cost of purchasing 3 cakes=3*23=$69
Total Cost=112+69=$181
c)
Cost of baking all the 10 cakes=$190 (Refer above table)
d)
Cost of purchasing all the 10 cakes=10*23=$230
