**1. Relation of A and T Curves**

*3* As the level of production increases in the short-run, the Average Variable Cost (AVC) curve (increases continuously/first decreases and then increases/decreases continuously) and the Average Fixed Cost (AFC) curve (increases continuously/first decreases and then increases/decreases continuously).

- ○ Increases continuously; decreases continuously.
- ○ First decreases and then increases; decreases continuously.
- ○ First decreases and then increases; increases continuously.
- ○ Decreases continuously; decreases continuously.
- ○ Increases continuously; first decreases and then increases.

[Options to choose from; users can select one based on the behavior of the AVC and AFC curves.]

Expert Solution
Step 1

As total fixed cost remains constant, the average fixed cost which is  TFC/Q keeps on decreasing continuously as output increases. 

Average variable cost is a u shaped curve. Hence it decreases initially as output increase and then it increases.
