Widgets Inc. produces widgets. If Widget's Fixed Costs are $1,000 and the Average Variable Costs of producing an output of 25 widgets is $60, then Total Cost of producing that quantity of output is: $2500
Explanation
GIVEN TOTAL FIXED COST (TFC) =1000,
AVERAGE FIXED COST(AFC) = TFC/OUTPUT =1000/25 =40.
GIVEN, AVERAGE VARIABLE COST(AVC) = 60
Then AVERAGE COST = AFC +AVC = 40 +60 =100
AVERAGE COST = TC / OUTPUT
TOTAL COST(TC) = AVERAGE COST * OUTPUT =100 *25 =2500.
