Thus average fixed cost is the fixed cost per unit of output. Suppose for a firm the total fixed cost is Rs. 2,000 when output is 100 units, average fixed cost (AFC) will be Rs. 2,000/100 = Rs. 20 and when output is expanded to 200 units, average fixed cost will be Rs. 2,000/200 = Rs.
On July 3, 1886, mechanical engineer Karl Benz drove the first automobile in Mannheim, Germany, reaching a top speed of 16 km/h (10 mph). The automobile was powered by a 0.75-hp one-cylinder four-stroke gasoline engine.
In Europe in 1885, Karl Benz introduced the first gasoline powered automobile. This Benz car had three wheels and seats for two people. Unfortunately, it and all the competing automobiles that were developed in the following years were too expensive to be used extensively.
