Is it possible for the average fixed cost curve to have the shape depicted above? Explain

What will be an ideal response?


Average fixed costs are equal to the total fixed costs divided by output. Mathematically speaking this figure will continue to fall since the number in the numerator remains fixed while the number in the numerator rises. Therefore, it isn't possible for the average fixed cost curve to have the shape that is depicted in this graph
