Variable costs depends on how much is used. Ex: water bill.
people can have a lot or not much but depends on how much.
Average over time refers to the calculation of the mean or average value of a given variable over a specific period. This involves adding up all the values of the variable during that period and dividing by the number of observations. It helps in understanding the trend or behavior of the variable over time.
The cost of quarrying granite is so variable, that it is impossible to give a precise figure.
To find the variable cost per unit, subtract the fixed costs from the total costs for the year and divide that by the total number of units produced/sold for the year. This will give you the variable cost per unit. Variable cost per unit = (Total costs - Fixed costs) / Volume unit-year.
As output expands, fixed costs are spread out over a larger quantity of output, causing average fixed cost (AFC) to decrease. Since average total cost (ATC) is the sum of average variable cost (AVC) and AFC, and AFC is decreasing, ATC will also decrease. However, AVC tends to decrease at a slower rate than AFC, so the gap between AVC and ATC narrows as output expands.
The different types of costs:opportunity costaccounting cost or historical coststransaction costsunk costmarginal cost
Average Variable Cost = Total Variable Cost/ Quantity Average Cost = Average Fixed Cost + Average Variable Cost Average Cost = Total Cost/Quantity
If the marginal cost is less than the average variable cost, the average variable cost will decrease.
the average variable cost curve and average cost curve are u- shaped because of the law of variable proportions.
When average variable costs equal to the average marginal cost, the average variable cost will be at the minimum point. i.e. lowest cost
Average total cost is the average of all your costs. This is your Fixed Costs and your Variable costs. Average Variable Cost is the average of your costs that can fluctuate.
decrease. Think about it this way, if you have a room full of people and you get their average height(average variable cost), and now each person that walks into the room(marginal cost) is shorter than the average, the average will drop.
Average total cost is the average of all your costs. This is your Fixed Costs and your Variable costs. Average Variable Cost is the average of your costs that can fluctuate.
To find the Average Variable Cost functions you need the following: ATC, TFC and TC.
we can subtract the AVC and we will get the MC
Total Variable Cost $4,196
The marginal cost (MC) curve intersects the average variable cost (AVC) curve at the minimum point of the AVC curve.
When a firm attains minimum average variable cost, the number of units of labor it is using depends on the average product.
