  • Average Variable Cost (AVC) − It is the variable cost for every unit produced. It varies with the level of production and is determined by dividing the total variable cost by the number of units produced.
  • Average Fixed Cost (AFC) − It is the fixed cost for every unit produced. It does not vary with the level of production and is determined by dividing the total fixed cost by the number of units produced.
  • Average Total Cost (ATC) − It is the total cost for every unit produced. It is the sum of fixed and variable cost and is determined by dividing the total cost by the number of units produced.
  • Marginal Cost (MC) − It is the cost of producing every additional unit.
