Total cost divided by the times that cost has been paid for. For example, if the costs were 1, 2, 3 and 4 (of whatever currency), then the average cost would be 1+2+3+4 / 4 (because there were only 4 times when the cost was produced) which woul be equal to 2.5.
Average Variable Cost = Total Variable Cost/ Quantity Average Cost = Average Fixed Cost + Average Variable Cost Average Cost = Total Cost/Quantity
(total cost - overhead cost) / number of units Example: If you purchased 100 items at a total cost of $1110, including $110 shipping cost, the average unit cost would be $10. ($1100 - $110)/100 = $10
Average cost = Total cost / number of units of a good produced. So Total cost = Average cost X No. of units of a good produced
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.
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.
Average Variable Cost = Total Variable Cost/ Quantity Average Cost = Average Fixed Cost + Average Variable Cost Average Cost = Total Cost/Quantity
(total cost - overhead cost) / number of units Example: If you purchased 100 items at a total cost of $1110, including $110 shipping cost, the average unit cost would be $10. ($1100 - $110)/100 = $10
The formula for apportioned cost is: Apportioned Cost = Total Cost × (Cost Driver for specific department ÷ Total Cost Driver for all departments)
Overhead cost is part of total cost and not different from total cost as formula is as follows: Total cost = material cost + labor cost + overhead cost
Average cost = Total cost / number of units of a good produced. So Total cost = Average cost X No. of units of a good produced
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.
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.
SUM/TOTAL
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.
Total Variable Cost = Number of Units * Variable cost per unit
true
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
