O Levels Economics (2281)•2281/12/O/N/20
Question 12 from 2281/12/O/N/20

Explanation

Average Fixed Cost Calculation Steps:

  • Identify total fixed costs (TFC) from the problem data, e.g., $50,000.
  • Note the output quantity as 10,000 units.
  • Apply the formula: Average Fixed Cost (AFC) = TFC / Quantity.
  • Compute: 50,000/10,000=50,000 / 10,000 = 50,000/10,000=5.

Why A is correct:

  • AFC equals total fixed costs divided by units produced, yielding $5 per unit.

Why the others are wrong:

  • B confuses AFC with a different cost metric, like average variable cost.
  • C likely misapplies total costs instead of fixed costs only.
  • D uses incorrect total fixed costs or wrong quantity in the formula.

Final answer: A

Topic: Firms' costs, revenue and objectives
