JAMB - Economics (1982 - No. 19)

if AC = Average Cost of production ,

TC = Total Cost of production

VC = Variable Cost of production

FC = Fixed Cost of production

Q = Quantity of goods produced

Then,
AC = TC; TC = VC + FC
AC = \(\frac{(TC)}{Q}\): TC = VC + FC
AC = TC; TC = (VC)(FC) Q
AC = TC- FC: VC = TC- AC
AC = TC ; TC = VC + AC Q

Explanation

Average Cost (AC) is defined as the total cost divided by the quantity produced:

AC = \(\frac{TC}{Q}\)

Total Cost (TC) is the sum of Variable Cost (VC) and Fixed Cost (FC):

TC = VC + FC
