how can you calculate average cost
You add up all the numbers that you're averaging and then divide that number by the amount of numbers you're averaging.

Here's an example.....

100, 99, 67, 81

add them all up...

347

now divide that number by four because there are four numbers (110, 99, 67, 81)

the average of the numbers is... 86.75

What is the formula to find the average variable cost?

Average Variable Cost = Total Variable Cost/ Quantity Average Cost = Average Fixed Cost + Average Variable Cost Average Cost = Total Cost/Quantity


How do you derive the total cost function from the average cost function?

Average cost = Total cost / number of units of a good produced. So Total cost = Average cost X No. of units of a good produced


Is falling when marginal cost is below it and rising?

When marginal cost is below average total cost, average total cost tends to fall, as each additional unit produced is less expensive than the average of previous units. Conversely, when marginal cost is above average total cost, average total cost rises, since producing additional units adds more cost than the average. Thus, if marginal cost is falling while it is below average total cost, it could lead to a further decrease in average total cost, while rising marginal cost above average total cost would increase it.


6 If the average total cost curve is falling what is necessarily true of the marginal cost curve If the average total cost curve is rising what is necessarily true of the marginal cost curve?

When average total cost curve is falling it is necessarily above the marginal cost curve. If the average total cost curve is rising, it is necessarily below the marginal cost curve.


When marginal cost is less than the average total cost the average total cost is falling why?

as a marginal cost is the cost of the next product produced, if this is less than average cost, when you continue to produce more products the lower marginal cost will have an affect on the average and cause it to fall.

What is cost What is the difference between total cost and average 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.

Average Cost Method: Under this method average cost is calculated by following farmula:Average cost of unit= Total cost of inventory / total number of units
