cost output relationship
What is the relation ship between total fixed cost and output?
THE SHORT-RUN COST-OUTPUT RELATIONSHIP REFERS TO A PARTICULAR SCALE OF OPERATION OR TO A FIXED PLANT. IT INDICATES VARIATIONS IN COST OVER OUTPUT FOR THE PLANT OF A GIVEN CAPACITY AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP WILL VARY WITH PLANTS OF VARYING CAPACITY.
There need not be any relationship.
Total variable cost has a direct relationship with the level of output or units produced so it changes according to the change in the production units or level of production.For example:Variable cost per unit = 10so if units produced = 10then variable cost = 10 * 10 = 100if units produced = 8variable cost = 10 * 8 = 80
Diminishing return of scale is a short run concept. It explains the relationship between the rate of output with increaring inputs of production. Economies of scale, on the other hand, explains the relationship between the LR average cost of producing a unit of good with increasing level of output.

function
The average fixed cost is equal to fixed cost divided by level of output, if the output increases; the average fixed cost is less.
when marginal cost are below average cost at a given output, one can deduce that,
when marginal cost are below average cost at a given output, one can deduce that,
In semi variable cost :variable cost = change in cost/change in output then with that rate * output = variable cost semi variable cost - variable cost = fixed cost
This is a simple enough question to answer, Fixed cost is defined as the cost invariant of output, i.e. cost that doesnot change as output increases, i.e. constant. So if you divide a constant by output as a variable, as output increases Average Fixed Costs drop.
