What it is: Cost per unit is a measure of a company's cost to build or create one unit of product. For example, let's assume it costs Company XYZ $10,000 to purchase 5,000 widgets that it will resell in its retail outlets. Company XYZ's cost per unit is: $10,000 / 5,000 = $2 per unit.
A related concept is marginal cost. Average fixed cost is the total fixed cost per unit of output incurred when a firm engages in short-run production. It can be found in two ways. Because average fixed cost is total fixed cost per unit of output, it can be found by dividing total fixed cost by the quantity of output.
