fixed and variable costs
The sum of variable and fixed costs is known as total cost. Variable costs change with the level of production or sales, such as raw materials and labor, while fixed costs remain constant regardless of output, such as rent and salaries. Together, they represent the overall expense incurred by a business in producing goods or services. Understanding this sum helps businesses in budgeting and pricing strategies.
To find the total fixed cost, we can use the formula for total cost, which is the sum of fixed costs and variable costs. The variable cost for processing 50 documents at $1 each is 50. Therefore, the total cost of $250 can be expressed as: Total Cost = Fixed Cost + Variable Cost, or $250 = Fixed Cost + $50. Solving for Fixed Cost gives us $250 - $50 = $200. Thus, the total fixed cost is $200.
When you see TC = Total Costs on a break even chart it stands for Variable, Semi-variable and fixed costs....thus the total cost.
This depends on what type of tax it is, lump sum or marginal.Lump sum: a lump sum consumption tax would not affect the general level or composition of consumption because fixed quantities do not affect optimal consumption-savings decisions.Marginal tax: if the marginal tax increased (i.e.) a general sales tax increase), it would decrease overall consumption because the tax would be an increase in the cost of consuming, and thus encourage the consumer to save more money and consume less.

Marginal cost is the cost to the firm of producing one more unit of output - it is affected by the same factors that affect variable costs. A lump sum tax does not affect this relationship whereas a tax on the marginal unit produced will; such as an ad valorem tax. If a lump sum tax is imposed on a producer this will NOT affect his profit maximising decisions as his output decisions are always based on the margin. He will set MC = MR as per normal but will endure lower profits as the AC has increased. It is important to understand the distinction between marginal and average in this case and the consequences that marginal tax has on behaviour of the firm.
