Answer: A: remain constant on a per-unit basis but change in total based on activity level
Explanation: A Variable cost is a cost an organisation incurs that is affected by fluctuations in production and so changes between given periods.
variable costs are not consistent but fluctuates in relation to the production activity of an organisation. Variable costs increases as production level increases and vise versa.
Costs associated with variable costs are those that contribute directly to the goods or service being offered by a business and therefore differ from period to period.
The total costs a company incurs are divided into Variable costs and Fixed costs. variable costs are costs incurred on raw materials, commission, labour, packaging and shipping while fixed costs are costs incurred on rent, salaries, repairs and maintenance, electricity etc.

Wholesale Broker is a type of insurance broker who acts as an intermediary between a retail broker (insurance agent ) and an insurer while having no contact with the insured
Elastic.
This is
the formula for elasticity:
Elasticity
= (Quantity variation/Quantity)/(Price variation/Price)
Inelastic
demand is the one in which a variation in price doesn’t lead to an important
variation in the quantity bought by consumers. So, in the formula, numerator is
much smaller than denominator, so the fraction is lower than 1. That happens
with necessary goods (typically, food).
On the
contrary, elastic demand is the one in which a variation in the price leads to
an important variation in the quantity bought by consumers, and that means the
fraction is higher than 1. So if I sell the product at a lower price, I will
sell much more product.
Considering the formula:
R = P*Q, when demand is elastic,
I will
have much more sold quantity with just a little lower price, which leads to a higher
revenue.
