a). Average Fixed Costs = $3 since:

* Total Cost (TC) = $800

* Total Variable Cost (TVC) =$500

* then; Total Fixed Cost (TFC) = TC - TVC = $300

& Average Fixed Cost (AFC) = TFC/Produced Quantity = 300/100 = $3/unit produced

Total Cost Per Unit= $800/100=$8

Total Cost= Fixed+Variable

$8=Fixed+$5

Fixed=$8-$5=$3

Hence,

Fixed Cost = $3 Per Unit

The answer is choice A, average fixed costs.

 

Because:

 

Total cost =800

 

Total Variable cost =5(100) =500

 

Total fixed cost = TC - TVC

 

Total fixed cost =800 -500 =300

 

Average FC = Total Fixed Cost / Total quantity

 

Average FC =300 /100 =3

a. Bcz if you minus the total variable cost of $500 (5*100) from $800 it will result in total fixed cost of $300 and if $300 F.cost is divided into the number of units then the average fixed cost will be $3 (300/100)
