In U-Shaped Average Total Cost Curve, why does AFC continue to fall even while ATC rises at very high output?
What will be an ideal response?
As fixed costs are spread over increasingly large output quantity; the AFC curve drops toward zero. The ATC, however is affected by the increasing marginal cost of high output, such as higher labor and materials costs. This causes it to curve upward even as AFC slowly declines.
