What else can I help you with?
A variable cost changes in proportion to changes in the volume in activity?
the answer is Variable Cost
Which cost will change with a decrease in activity within relevant range?
unit fixed costs and total variable cost
When using a flexible budget a decrease in activity within the relevant range does what?
I wanted to get this answered more fully, and correctly. Decreasing variable costs per unit is just wrong. When speaking of variable vs fixed costs, it means in total. A variable cost stays the same per unit, but as volume changes, the total variable costs increase and decrease. (Unless something specifically mentions there's a change per unit.) A fixed cost is fixed in total regardless of volume. But fixed per unit increases and decreases with volume changes. In order for variable and fixed to have their proper meanings, you have to think about them as total costs. For example, if I buy a certain shirt for $7 and sell it for $15, those are variable. They stay the same per unit and I gross $8 per shirt (called contribution margin). The more I sell, the more sales revenue I have and the more variable cost I have -- two shirts will have $7x2 ($14) of variable costs etc. If my fixed costs are $100,000, that will remain fixed regardless of how many of anything I sell. An example of a fixed cost is rent. If activity decreases, total variable costs will decrease, but not per unit variable costs. Total costs also decrease, but that's not complete. And fixed per unit increases, because you don't have as much volume to spread the fixed costs over.
Variable costs per unit will increase as production decreases.?
Variable cost per unit remains same with level of production and no change in change in level of production.
What happens as the level of activity decrease within the relevant range?
Although fixed cost per unit decreases with increases in activity levels, total fixed cost is not affected by changes in the activity level within the relevant range.
A variable cost changes in proportion to changes in the volume in activity?
the answer is Variable Cost
Is electricity cost a variable cost or a fixed cost?
It's a variable cost, as it changes with the change in activity level
Is the cost of fuel for vehicles a variable cost?
Variable cost: The cost change with the change in activity is called variable cost. So as much fuel used cost increased accordingly so it is variable cost.
A is a fixed cost b is a variable cost. during the current year the level of activity has decreaed but is still within the relevant range. we would expect that?
A remains constant and B decreases. profit decrease
What cost is not a fixed cost?
A cost which varies with the level of production activity is not a fixed cost and called variable cost.
How is the relative range of activity related to fix and variable cost?
not sure
The variable cost per unit?
remains constant as activity changes
Fixed cost per unit increases when?
when number of activity or units decreases
Is mortgage payment a variable cost?
Mortgage payment can either be fixed or variable cost. A fixed cost means the interest rate charged on the loan will remain the same for the loan's entire term. A variable cost means the interest rate changes or decreases as time pass.
A cost increases or decreases in intervals as activity changes?
This scenario likely represents a step-variable cost behavior, where costs remain constant within certain activity levels before increasing or decreasing in response to a change in activity. This type of cost behavior is characterized by step changes in costs instead of a continuous increase or decrease. Organizational decisions may need to account for these step changes when forecasting or managing costs.

unit fixed costs and total variable cost
