Do ATC and AVC curves intersect? Explain.

Open in App

Solution

No, AVC curve never intersects ATC. The gap between ATC and AVC is the average fixed cost AFC. If TFC is non-zero, AFC can never be zero. The gap between ATC and AVC will disappear only if AFC is zero. Hence the two curves do not intersect.
