Definition Definition Measure of the cost of production per unit of output, including only variable costs such as wages, materials, and utilities. AVC is calculated by dividing total variable cost by the number of units produced. Understanding average variable cost is important for businesses to make decisions on pricing, production levels, and profitability.
