Mariecfa The vertical distance between ATC and AVC curves is equal to AFC.
fangluez ATC=AFC+AVC. As units of output increase, AFC will decrease. Therefore ATC and AVC are moving closer.
Huricane74 When production increases, but before the average fixed cost and the average variable cost curves intersect, they move closer together.
If production continues to increase after the average fixed cost and average variable curves intersect, then they move further apart.
