Question

Which of the following is true if the production volume​ decreases? A. average cost per unit decreases B. fixed cost per unit increases C. variable cost per unit decreases D. variable cost per unit increases

Answer 1

Answer:

B. fixed cost per unit increases

Explanation:

As we know that

If the production volume increases, the fixed cost per unit is decreases as it reflect an inverse relationship between the fixed cost per unit and the production volume

Let us take an example

Fixed cost = $20,000

Production volume = 100,000

Decrease in production volume = 80,000

So, the fixed cost per unit in the first case is

= 20,000 ÷ $100,000

= $0.2

And, the fixed cost per unit in the second case is

= 20,000 ÷ $80,000

= $0.25

Therefore, the fixed cost per unit increases
