Average Costs Edit. 1  Definition. 2  Average cost is equal to total cost divided by the number of goods produced (the output quantity, Q). 3  It is also equal to the sum of average variable costs (total variable cost divided by Q) plus average fixed costs (total fixed costs divided by Q).

For example, if one pays $500 per month in rent and wishes to calculate the average fixed costs for a year, one divides the $6,000 one spends on rent by 12 months. see AVERAGE COST ( SHORT-RUN).
