A company that produces microwaves finds that it cost $36 for each microwave they produce. They model their cost with the following function, $\displaystyle {C}={f{{\left({n}\right)}}}$ where $\displaystyle {C}$ is the cost in dollars and $\displaystyle {n}$ is the number of microwaves produced.

In the context of this problem, explain the meaning of $\displaystyle {f{{\left({0}\right)}}}$ in practical terms.
