The average fixed cost (AFC) decreases as output (q) increases. If we multiply any value q of output with its corresponding AFC, we always get a constant, namely ___________.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

By definition AFC=TFCqAFC = \frac{TFC}{q}. Rearranging, q×AFC=TFCq \times AFC = TFC. Since total fixed cost does not change with output, the product of output and its AFC is always the same constant, namely Total Fixed Cost. This is why the AFC curve is a rectangular hyperbola.
