Answer the question on the basis of the following information:  TFC = Total Fixed Cost Q= Quantity of Output  MC = Marginal Cost P= Product Price  TVC = Total Variable Cost \begin{array} { l l } \text { TFC = Total Fixed Cost } & Q = \text { Quantity of Output } \\\text { MC = Marginal Cost } & P = \text { Product Price } \\\text { TVC = Total Variable Cost } &\end{array} TFC = Total Fixed Cost  MC = Marginal Cost  TVC = Total Variable Cost Q= Quantity of Output P= Product Price  Refer to the information.Average total cost is:

A)
 TVC - MC \text { TVC - MC } TVC - MC 
B)
 TVC - TFC Q\frac { \text { TVC - TFC } } { Q }Q TVC - TFC 
C)
 TVC Q\frac { \text { TVC } } { Q }Q TVC 
D)
 TFC + TVC Q\frac { \text { TFC } + \text { TVC } } { Q }Q TFC + TVC 

Average Total Cost

The total cost divided by the number of goods or services produced, representing the per unit cost of production.

Total Fixed Cost

Total fixed cost refers to the sum of all costs required to produce any output in which these costs do not change with the level of output.

Total Variable Cost

The total of expenses that vary directly with the volume of production or sales, such as materials and labor.

  • Assess distinct cost parameters (MC, ATC, AVC, AFC) employing given data.

Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Average total cost (ATC) is the total cost divided by the quantity of output.
Total cost = Total Fixed Cost (TFC) + Total Variable Cost (TVC)
Therefore, ATC = (TFC + TVC) / Q, which is option D.
