Since all the $ f_{n} $ are AC, there exists $ f_{n}^{'} $ such that $ f_{n}(x)=f_{n}(x)-f_{n}(0)=\int_{0}^{x}f_{n}^{'}(t)dt $ and $ f_{n}^{'} $ are nonnegative almost everywhere since $ f_{n} $ are increasing.

Let $ h(t)=\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}f_{k}^{'}(t) $

Let $ g_{n}(x)= \sum_{k=1}^{n}f_{k}(x)=\sum_{1}^{n}\int_{0}^{x}f_{k}^{'}(t)dt=\int_{0}^{x}(\sum_{k=0}^{n}f_{k}^{'}(t))dt $

Lebesgue Monotone Convergence Theorem gives us $ g(x)=\int_{0}^{x}h(t)dt $

Since all the $ f_{n} $ are increasing, $ g $ is increasing and with $ g(1) $ is finite, $ g $ is finite everywhere, so $ g(1)=\int_{0}^{1}h(t)dt $.

Conclusion, $ g $ is AC[0,1].
