Correct Answer: 36
Solution : The correct option is 36.
The formula is Average Variable Cost(AVC) = Average Total Cost(ATC)− Average Fixed Cost(AFC).
Given that the Average Total Cost (ATC) is Rs. 54, and the Average Fixed Cost (AFC) is calculated as Total Fixed Cost divided by the Quantity Produced:
AFC = Total Fixed Cost / Quantity Produced; AFC = 45000 / 2500 = 18.
Substitute these values into the formula for Average Variable Cost: 54 − 18 = 36.
