Definitions:

Minimum Average Total Cost

The lowest point on the average total cost curve, representing the most efficient scale of production for minimizing costs per unit.

Average Total Cost

The total cost of production divided by the quantity of output produced, indicating the cost per unit of output.

Average Variable Cost

The total variable cost divided by the number of units produced, reflecting the variable cost of producing each unit.
