Total variable cost has a direct relationship with the level of output or units produced so it changes according to the change in the production units or level of production.
For example:
Variable cost per unit = 10
so if units produced = 10
then variable cost = 10 * 10 = 100
if units produced = 8
variable cost = 10 * 8 = 80
tvc will also inscrease as output increase
False, it is the fixed cost which is not increased or decreased with proportion to output.
The cost that always declines as output increases is the average fixed cost (AFC). As production increases, the total fixed costs are spread over a larger number of units, resulting in a lower average fixed cost per unit. Unlike variable costs, which may increase with output, fixed costs remain constant regardless of the level of production, leading to a continuous decline in AFC as output rises.
average fixed will go down, average variable will remain the same, and average total will go down.
I'm a freshman at Utah State diving into macroeconomics. One of the key points from my text states: "Knowledge increases productivity, do specialization increases total output." Can someone help me understand this? What is the total output, our goods, our economy? Or can someone give me am example to relate it to?

If the output increases, so will the variable cost. Though, variable cost is not directly proportionate to the output, still it will witness an incline.
Total variable cost can increase while the variable cost per unit remains constant if the total quantity of output produced increases. In this scenario, the variable cost per unit does not change, but since more units are being produced, the overall total variable cost rises. Conversely, if the output level stays the same, an increase in total variable cost would imply an increase in the variable cost per unit.
Variable costs are costs that increase in total as output increases. For example, total labor costs increase per each hour worked; total direct materials costs increase per unit produced, etc.

What is the total variable cost when output is 100 units in Figure 6.2
The average total cost (ATC) increases when a firm experiences diminishing returns to scale, meaning that as production expands, the additional output gained from each unit of input increases at a decreasing rate. This can happen due to inefficiencies, higher variable costs, or the need for more expensive inputs as production scales up. Additionally, fixed costs spread over a larger output can initially lower ATC, but beyond a certain point, further increases in output can lead to higher average costs due to logistical and management challenges.
