Average Fixed Cost (AFC) is indicated by? |
A rectangular hyperbola. A straight line parallel to X axis. A straight line parallel to Y axis. A U-shaped curve. |
A rectangular hyperbola. |
The correct answer is Option (1) → A rectangular hyperbola. AFC is the ratio of TFC to q. TFC is a constant. Therefore, as q increases, AFC decreases. When output is very close to zero, AFC is arbitrarily large, and as output moves towards infinity, AFC moves towards zero. AFC curve is, in fact, a rectangular hyperbola. If we multiply any value q of output with its corresponding AFC, we always get a constant, namely TFC.
