a) Total Fixed Cost = Total Cost + Total Variable Cost
b) Total Cost = Total Variable Cost + Marginal Cost
c) Average Fixed Cost = Average Total CostAverage Variable Cost
d) Average Total Cost = Marginal Cost + Average Fixed Cost
Expert Solution
Step 1

Total cost is consist of two factors such as fixed cost and variable cost, i.e.

Total cost = fixed cost + variable cost

Where total fixed cost could be measured as

Total fixed cost = total cost - total variable cost

Now, the average total cost is the sum of average fixed cost and average variable cost, i.e.

Average total cost = average fixed cost + average variable cost

Where average fixed cost could be measured as

Average fixed cost = average total cost - average variable cost
