  2. Cost curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_curve

    Average Fixed Cost (AFC) = FC/Q; Average Variable Cost (AVC) = VC/Q. ATC = AFC + AVC At a level of Q at which the MC curve is above the average total cost or average variable cost curve, the latter curve is rising. [10]: 212 If MC is below average total cost or average variable cost, then the latter curve is falling.

  3. Average fixed cost - Wikipedia

    A table and graph of average fixed cost. ... If producing 5 shirts generates an average total cost of 11 dollars and average variable cost of 5 dollars, the fixed ...

  4. Average cost - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average_cost

    Marginal costs are often also shown on these graphs, with marginal cost representing the cost of the last unit produced at each point; marginal costs in the short run are the slope of the variable cost curve (and hence the first derivative of variable cost). A typical average cost curve has a U-shape, because fixed costs are all incurred before ...

    Here’s an example. The ABC Company makes widgets. The company has fixed costs of $10,000 per month. Each widget costs the company $3.00 to make, and it sells each widget for $5.00.

  6. Total cost - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_cost

    The marginal cost can also be calculated by finding the derivative of total cost or variable cost. Either of these derivatives work because the total cost includes variable cost and fixed cost, but fixed cost is a constant with a derivative of 0. The total cost of producing a specific level of output is the cost of all the factors of production.

  7. Marginal cost - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marginal_cost

    Fixed costs are costs incurred by things like rent, building space, machines, etc. Variable costs change as the production quantity changes, and are often associated with labor or materials. The derivative of fixed cost is zero, and this term drops out of the marginal cost equation: that is, marginal cost does not depend on fixed costs.

  8. Average variable cost - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average_variable_cost

    In economics, average variable cost (AVC) is a firm's variable costs (VC; labour, electricity, etc.) divided by the quantity of output produced (Q): = Average variable cost plus average fixed cost equals average total cost (ATC): A V C + A F C = A T C . {\displaystyle AVC+AFC=ATC.}

  9. Variable cost - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_cost

    Variable costs are the sum of marginal costs over all units produced. They can also be considered normal costs. Fixed costs and variable costs make up the two components of total cost. Direct costs are costs that can easily be associated with a particular cost object. [2] However, not all variable costs are direct costs.
