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).
When compared with price (per unit revenue), average total cost (ATC) indicates the per unit profitability of a profit-maximizing firm. Average total cost is one of three average cost concepts important to short-run production analysis. Third, the average total cost values in this table are comprised of two parts--average variable cost and average fixed cost. 2  In other words, the $4.60 average total cost of producing 10 Stuffed Amigos can be broken down into something like $4.30 of average variable cost and $0.30 of average fixed cost.
