Question

Krista's dry-cleaning business incurs $900 per month in fixed costs. Last month her total output was 3,000 pounds of clothes. This month her total output fell to 2,700 pounds. This means her average fixed cost _____ by a little more than _____ cents.

Answer 1

increased; 3.33 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Fixed cost is cost that doesn't vary with unit produced. It remains constant

Average fixed cost = Fixed cost/ output

Average fixed cost last month = $900 / 3000 = $0.3

Average fixed cost this month = $900 / $2700 =$ 0.333

Average fixed cost this month ($0.333) is greater than Average fixed cost last month by $ 0.333 - $ 0.3 = $ 0.033 = 3.33 cents
