Answer:
Option D- The unit product costs of high volume products typically decrease and the unit product costs of low volume products typically increase.
Explanation:
The reason is that the company has batch level costs which are fixed indirect costs that are to be assigned to the product and are fixed amounts say $100. Also assume that there are two type of units, Unit A and B. Suppose that the batch cost any number of units of A produced will remain the same and similarly for product B. This means if the units produced of A are at 20 unit per batch and product B produced are 10 units per batch then Activity Based Costing says that the unit cost of batch cost absorbed in Product A would be $5 ($100 / 20) and that for product B would be $10 ($100 / 10). So this example better explains cost behavior of batch cost which is fixed for different levels of production.
This means the fixed cost per unit which decreases with increase in production will keep decreasing if the number of units produced starts increasing. In other words, the similar class of units if are produced in higher quantity then the cost per unit will be decreased due to decrease in fixed cost per unit and vice versa.

Answer:
Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act
Explanation:
The Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act (GLBA), also known as the Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999, (enacted November 12, 1999) is an act of the 106th United States Congress (1999–2001). It repealed part of the Glass–Steagall Act of 1933, removing barriers in the market among banking companies, securities companies and insurance companies that prohibited any one institution from acting as any combination of an investment bank, a commercial bank, and an insurance company. With the bipartisan passage of the Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act, commercial banks, investment banks, securities firms, and insurance companies were allowed to consolidate. Furthermore, it failed to give to the SEC or any other financial regulatory agency the authority to regulate large investment bank holding companies. The legislation was signed into law by President Bill Clinton.
