Q.A firm's total fixed cost is Rs. 50,000 per month. Its average fixed cost at output xx units is AFC(x)=50,000x\text{AFC}(x)=\dfrac{50{,}000}{x}. Find lim⁡x→∞AFC(x)\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\infty}\text{AFC}(x) and interpret the result in business terms.

Step 1 — Apply the limit directly.

lim⁡x→∞AFC(x)=lim⁡x→∞50,000x=0\lim_{x\to\infty}\text{AFC}(x)=\lim_{x\to\infty}\dfrac{50{,}000}{x}=0

since the numerator is a fixed constant while the denominator grows without bound.

Dual-check — evaluate AFC at increasingly large, concrete outputs.

Output xxAFC =50,000x=\frac{50{,}000}{x}
10,000Rs. 5.00
100,000Rs. 0.50
1,000,000Rs. 0.05

The numerical trend — steadily falling toward, but never reaching, Rs. 0 — confirms the algebraic limit of 0. …
