"AFC =" "Total fixed cost\\over quantity"

"=" "500\\over1000"

"=0.5"


2000 poster

"=500\\over 2000"

"=0.25"


10000 posters

"=" "500\\over10000"

"=0.05"


b)Average total cost

i)1000

"=" "2000+500\\over1000"

"=2.5"


ii)2000

"=" "1600+500\\over2000"

"1.05"


iii)10000

"=" "500+1600+8000\\over10000"

"=1.01"


c)The output should be at a level where the total revenue can be able to cover for variable cost for Karen to avoid a short run.
