  • Thanks sir...Maybe it will be a better idea to start the AC and MC at the same point to better understand the concept of AC as initially (i.e. for the first unit )AC = MC.

  • @djstud1987 But you are wrong. AC does not equal MC for the first unit produced! The MC will be the variable cost of making the first unit (taking output from 0 to 1). But the AC when output = 1 is equal to the total cost and incorporates all fixed costs.
