  2. Total cost - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_cost

    The long run total cost for a given output will generally be lower than the short run total cost, because the amount of capital can be chosen to be optimal for the amount of output. Other economic models use the total variable cost curve (and therefore total cost curve) to illustrate the concepts of increasing, and later diminishing, marginal ...

  3. Average cost - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average_cost

    In economics, average cost (AC) or unit cost is equal to total cost (TC) divided by the number of units of a good produced (the output Q): A C = T C Q . {\displaystyle AC={\frac {TC}{Q}}.} Average cost is an important factor in determining how businesses will choose to price their products.

  4. Economic cost - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_cost

    Total variable cost (TVC) is the same as variable costs. [5] Fixed cost (TFC) are the costs of the fixed assets those that do not vary with production. [6] Total fixed cost (TFC) Average cost (AC) are total costs divided by output. AC = TFC/q + TVC/q Average fixed cost (AFC) is equal to total fixed cost divided by output i.e. AFC = TFC/q. The ...

  5. Average fixed cost - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average_fixed_cost

    Because average total cost is average variable cost plus average fixed cost, average fixed cost is average total cost minus average variable cost. [2] If producing 5 shirts generates an average total cost of 11 dollars and average variable cost of 5 dollars, the fixed cost would be 6 dollars. Similarly, the firm produces 10 shirts and average ...

  6. Cost curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_curve

    Average Total Cost (ATC) = Total Cost/Q; Average Fixed Cost (AFC) = FC/Q; Average Variable Cost (AVC) = VC/Q. ATC = AFC + AVC At a level of Q at which the MC curve is above the average total cost or average variable cost curve, the latter curve is rising. [10]: 212 If MC is below average total cost or average variable cost, then the latter ...

  7. Contribution margin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contribution_margin

    where TC = TFC + TVC is Total Cost = Total Fixed Cost + Total Variable Cost and X is Number of Units. Thus Profit is the Contribution Margin times Number of Units, minus the Total Fixed Costs. The above formula is derived as follows:

  8. Cost–volume–profit analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost–volume–profit...

    One can decompose total costs as fixed costs plus variable costs: TC = TFC + V × X {\displaystyle {\text{TC}}={\text{TFC}}+V\times X} Following a matching principle of matching a portion of sales against variable costs, one can decompose sales as contribution plus variable costs, where contribution is "what's left after deducting variable costs".

  9. Average variable cost - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average_variable_cost

    In economics, average variable cost (AVC) is a firm's variable costs (VC; labour, electricity, etc.) divided by the quantity of output produced (Q): = Average variable cost plus average fixed cost equals average total cost (ATC): A V C + A F C = A T C . {\displaystyle AVC+AFC=ATC.}
