In economics, average cost or unit cost is equal to total cost divided by the number of goods produced (the output quantity, Q). It
is also equal to the sum of average variable costs (total variable costs
divided by Q) plus average fixed costs (total fixed costs divided by Q).
Average costs may be dependent on the time period considered (increasing
production may be expensive or impossible in the short term, for example).
Average costs affect the supply curve and are a fundamental component of supply
and demand.
ATC = TC/Q
ATC = x^2 - 5x + 60
