What happens to the total cost (TC) of production if the quantity of output in the production is reduced to 0 (zero)?

Where, TC=Total cost, FC=Fixed Cost, VC=Variable Cost.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

At zero output no variable inputs are used, so variable cost is zero, while fixed cost is incurred regardless of output. Hence TC=FC+VC=FC+0=FCTC = FC + VC = FC + 0 = FC.
