Solution

  • As output increases, the Average Cost (AC) initially decreases, reaches a minimum point, then starts increasing.
  • AC = `"Total Cost"/"Output"`
  • The Average Cost (AC) curve is U-shaped, showing decreasing cost at first, then increasing cost due to the law of variable proportions.
