  • total fixed cost

    Average fixed cost = average total cost is - average variable cost = 8-5 = $3 Then total fixed cost = average fixed cost * output = 3*6 = $18. The solution finds total fixed cost.

  • Characteristics of cost functions: fixed, variable, average and marginal

    Average fixed = fixed cost per unit Average fixed = FC/Q = 150/Q Average variable = variable cost per unit Average variable = VC/Q = [200 * Q - 9 * Q^2 + 0.25 * Q^3]/Q Average variable = 200 - 9 * Q + 0.25 * Q^2 Average total = average fixed

  • Calculating average, marginal and variable costs

    total cost = total cost/quantity = 20/5 = 4 average fixed cost = total fixed cost/quantity = 5/5 = 1 average variable cost = total variable cost / quantity = (20-5)/5 = 3 marginal cost = change in TC/change in quantity = 28-20/6-5 = 8 The expert

  • average fixed cost (AFC) curve, average variable cost (AVC) curve, the average total cost (ATC) curve, and the marginal cost (MC)

    What impact, if any, will this have the firm's AFC (average fixed cost), AVC (average variable cost), ATC (average total cost) and MC (marginal cost) and therefore these cost curves? Why?

  • Demand and Supply - Fixed Cost

    Marginal Cost = (Change in Total Cost)/(Change in Fixed Cost) Average Cost = (Total Cost)/Output Fixed cost must be $100 because at an output of 0 there are no variable costs, only fixed costs.
