    The answer is option (c) $1.71

    Explanation:

    Solution

    Given that:

    Doreenas Dairy produced = 7000 pounds (Q)

    Each pounds was sold for = $6

    The incurred variable costs (vc) = $28,000

    Total cost (Tc) = $40,000

    Now we find the he firm's average fixed cost

    Thus,

    Fixed cost = Total cost (Tc) - Incurred variable cost (vc)

    = $40,000 - $28,0000

    =12,000

    So, the average fixed costs (AFC) = FC/Q

    =12,000/7000

    =$1.714

    Therefore the average fixed cost of the firm is $1.71
