Average Total Cost (ATC) and Average Variable Cost (AVC) get closer as output increases because fixed costs are spread over a larger quantity of output. As production rises, the impact of fixed costs on ATC diminishes, making ATC approach AVC, which only includes variable costs. Consequently, the difference between ATC and AVC decreases, reflecting the reduced per-unit burden of fixed costs at higher production levels.
What else can I help you with?
Explain why the AVC and ATC move closer together as output expands?
As output expands, fixed costs are spread out over a larger quantity of output, causing average fixed cost (AFC) to decrease. Since average total cost (ATC) is the sum of average variable cost (AVC) and AFC, and AFC is decreasing, ATC will also decrease. However, AVC tends to decrease at a slower rate than AFC, so the gap between AVC and ATC narrows as output expands.
What happens to the difference between ATC and AVC as a firm's output expands?
The difference narrows. ATC is the sum of AVC and AFC.. Since AFC declines steadily as output rises, the difference between ATC and AVC must narrow steadily.
Why does MC curve intersect AVC andATC fromits bottom?
The Marginal Cost (MC) curve intersects both the Average Variable Cost (AVC) and Average Total Cost (ATC) curves from below because when MC is less than AVC or ATC, it pulls the average down as additional units are produced. When MC equals AVC or ATC, it indicates that the cost of producing one more unit is exactly equal to the average cost, at which point the average costs are at their minimum. Thus, the intersection occurs at the lowest point of the AVC and ATC curves, illustrating the relationship between marginal and average costs.
What is avc elasticity formula?
The Average Variable Cost (AVC) elasticity formula measures how responsive the average variable cost is to changes in output. It is calculated as the percentage change in AVC divided by the percentage change in output (Q): [ \text{AVC Elasticity} = \frac{% \Delta \text{AVC}}{% \Delta Q} ] A value greater than 1 indicates AVC is elastic with respect to output, while a value less than 1 indicates it is inelastic.
Why do MC intersect AVC and ATC from its bottom?

When average total cost rises from 10 to 30 as total production rises from 100 to 300 unitswhat will happens to average variable cost?
When average total cost (ATC) rises from 10 to 30 while total production increases from 100 to 300 units, it indicates that the average fixed costs are also impacting the overall cost structure. Average variable cost (AVC) can be calculated using the formula: ATC = AVC + AFC (average fixed cost). If ATC is rising significantly, it's likely that the average fixed costs are increasing, or the AVC is also rising, but without specific data on fixed costs, we cannot definitively conclude the behavior of AVC. However, if production is increasing and ATC is rising sharply, it suggests that AVC may also be increasing due to diminishing returns or inefficiencies in production.
Are Fixed costs are the difference between total costs and average variable costs?
No. But: ATC = AVC + AFC Or TC = VC + FC
Why is average total cost curve above average variable cost curve?
The Average Total Cost (ATC) curve is above the Average Variable Cost (AVC) curve because the ATC is composed of the AVC and the AFC (average fixed cost curve). The AVC curve starts out low at low levels of output, and eventually, as more of the variable unit is added, AVC begins to slop upward. Conversely, AFC starts out higher, but as more units are produced, the fixed costs are spread out over more units so the AFC curve is actually a downward sloping straight line. When you add the AVC and AFC at each level of production and graph the result, you are given the ATC line which is a U-shaped curve above the AFC & AVC. An example of VC would be labor. In the short-run where plant size is fixed, in order to produce more units, you would have to hire more labor. As you add workers, you will initially see a productivity gain, but as more and more workers are added, their marginal output will fall. FC is simple. Suppose you have a factory that costs you $100/year to operate. If you produce only 1 unit that year, your fixed costs are spread out over the single unit, so $100 AFC. Now suppose you up production to 3 units and AFC falls to $33.34/unit. Go even further and produce 25 units and now AFC is $4/unit. Graph this line. The sum of these 2 curves, AVC & AFC, equals ATC.
Is the AVC increases as the level of output increases in the short-run?
Yes, in the short run, as output increases, average variable cost (AVC) tends to decrease at first due to economies of scale, but eventually increases due to diminishing returns to variable factors of production.
Indicate how each of the following would shift 1. the marginal cost curve 2. the average variable cost curve 3. the average fixed cost curve and 4. the average total cost curve of a manufacturing firm?
a. Property taxes are fixed costs, so this would decrease AFC, which in turn decreases ATC.b. Wages are typically variable costs, so this would increase both MC and AVC, which in turn increases ATC.c. Electricity is typically a variable cost, so this would decrease both MC and AVC, which in turn decreases ATC,d. Insurance is a fixed cost, so this would increase AFC, which in turn increases ATC.
Why avc curve U shape?
Overall because of diminishing marginal returns. The marginal cost curve, MC, decreases until diminishing marginal returns set in and and it begins to increase. When the MC is below the AVC, the AVC must fall. When the MC is above the AVC, the AVC must rise. In otherwords, if the marginal cost is decreasing the average cost must be decreasing as well and vice versa.
