DragIT -cost curves

In the simulation below, drag the sliders to see the impact of changes in costs on the various cost curves. N.B. Please note that the variable cost curve is shown with no diminishing returns to the variable factor.

Total costs

Choose appropriate words from each drop-down box to complete the description of total costs.

are the sum of fixed costs and variable costs at a particular level of output. are the cost of one more unit of output. In other words the increase in total cost from producing one more unit of output. are total costs divided by the level of output. There are three aspects of average cost: (ATC) which is total cost divided by the level of output, (AFC) which is total fixed cost divided by the level of output and (AVC) which is total variable cost divided by the level of output.
