TFC: The abbreviation for total fixed cost, which is cost of production that does NOT change with changes in the quantity of output produced by a firm in the short run. Total fixed cost is one part of total cost. The other is total variable cost. At any and all levels of output, fixed cost is the same. It doesn't change. This includes cost that is not dependent on, or unrelated to, production. The best way to identify fixed cost is to produce zero output. Fixed cost is incurred whether or not any output is produced. A cost measure directly related to total fixed cost is average fixed cost.

- Change in quantity supplied, we have moved to a new quantity on an same supply curve. Only the price of the good changes the quantity supplied.
- This difference lets us analyze cause and effect.
- Don't confuse these two.
