$A C$ curve must eventually rise during the short period. Do you agree?

Solution

Yes. Diminishing returns to a factor lead to rising $A V C$ . Hence, $A C$ curve must eventually rise during the short period. This happens even when $A F C$ is falling. Because, in the later stages of production, $A F C$ (as it is continuously falling) reduces to an insignificant component of $A T C$ .

AC curve must eventually rise during the short period. Do you agree?

Yes. Diminishing returns to a factor lead to rising AVC. Hence, AC curve must eventually rise during the short period. This happens even when AFC is falling. Because, in the later stages of production, AFC (as it is continuously falling) reduces to an insignificant component of ATC.
