Answer: A) Federal National Mortgage Association pass-throughs.

Answer:
B. Both I and II are true.
Explanation:
<em> The average total cost of a given level of output is the slope of the line from the origin to the total cost curve at that level of output</em>
The average total cost is defined as the sum of all total costs divided by the quantity produced. In other words, the cost of one unit of production. The average cost curve as shown in the diagram is U-shaped, where it falls with economies of scale and later rises as diseconomies of scale sets in.
<em />
<em>The marginal cost of a given level of output is the slope of the line that is tangent to the total cost curve at that level of output</em>
Marginal cost is the change that occurs in the total cost when quantity produced increases by one unit. In other words, it is the cost of producing an additional unit of a good. As per the diagram, the slope of the line tangent to the TC (TC = AC x Q1) curve at Q1 is the firm's marginal cost at this output level.
Answer:
Option D. The accountant was a member of a professional organization.
Explanation:
The reason is that for a successful claim under the negligence act, the claimant have to prove following three things:
- Duty of care existed between the relation

- The harm was proximately caused by the accountant's breach of the duty of care.
So the accountant's membership is not a valid requirement under the negligence act for a successful claim.
Answer:
1. Apart from helping to know the average cost of a product, analyzing fixed and variable cost will help to derive the break even point.
2. Profit will go down
Explanation:
1. The size of the selling price and the variable cost determine contribution per unit of a product. Contribution per unit is Price minus variable cost. This shows the contribution of sales revenue towards covering the fixed cost of a product.
2. Relevant range is the estimated or budgeted activity level which defines a business volume of production or operation, it is both maximum and minimum threshold within which the entity must operate to expect certain level of cost and revenue.
Sometimes fixed costs are fixed within a relevant range of activities and outside such range, fixed cost may become variable, which will all things being equal impact negatively on the price.
Also, within relevant range volume discount may be achieved and outside such range, this may be forfeited which, will also reduce profit all things being equal.
