danlan Total fixed costs are the same, but average tixed costs are divided by the amount produced
Smurfy so the more you produce, the more the average fixed cost falls (since total fixed costs are constant)
boddunah aver.fixed cost is total fixed cost divided by the amount produced.so average fixed cost depends on amount produced ,not total fixed costs.
