12. Unlike other costs, fixed costs will be the same at any level of output. Thus, it doesn't matter at what Q we compute fixed cost. In this graph the AFC curve isn't shown, but we know that AFC is the difference between ATC and AVC. At an output level of 10 we can compute it as 10 x (20 - 15) = 50. This is represented by the shaded area.
