Question

Can AFC curve touch the Y-axis and X-axis?

Short Answer
Advertisements

Solution

  • No, the AFC curve can never touch the X-axis or the Y-axis.
  • At very low output, AFC is high but not infinite; hence, the curve fails to touch the Y-axis. As output increases, AFC decreases but never reaches zero; therefore, it never touches the X-axis.
  • This is because the total fixed cost (TFC) is always a positive number.
