Answer 1

Answer

The store is likely to experience the following: the total fixed cost will remain the same, while the unit fixed costs will reduce with increase in sales. The total variable costs will reduce with increase in sales, while the unit variable cost will remain constant despite an increase in sales volume.

Explanation

The total variable costs are those costs that change with rise or fall in output or quantity produced. The total variable cost will increase when the amount of products produced increases. For example, labor, the more the units of the products are produced and sold more labor will be required to produce that effect and this will increase the store’s cost of labor. The total variable costs will rise proportionally with increase in sales volume because it costs more to increase the output.
