Describe the relationship between average variable cost and average total cost. How are the general shapes of the AVC and ATC curves related?

On May 06, 2024


ATC = AVC + AFC, so the vertical distance between the AVC and ATC curves is the value of AFC for that level of output. Both AVC and ATC are typically U-shaped. The vertical distance between the two curves, however, is steadily declining as output increases because AFC is steadily declining.
