Basically when you refer to fixed costs you are talking about expenses that remain "constant" over a longer period of time, such as a lease, and other "overhead" obligations. These fixed costs are defined as a percentage of total gross so in that case it is a percentage point which is the same as a unit. Fixed costs don't actually remain constant, but in order to run a business you need a business plan and you need to plug in the plan numbers for 12 months, based on payments that remain consistant and by using last years numbers to create a monthly average number for things like untilities. If you don't have planned numbers that are pretty solid you need to make adjustments throughout the year to keep them as close to plan as possible. Otherwise your overhead can eat up the money you need for inventory, which is where the profit margin comes from to pay for everything and give you an ROI that is viable.

What production costs if expressed on a per unit basis would be most likely to change significantly as the production level varies?
fixed manufacturing overhead.
Variable cost fluctuates in total as activity changes but remains constant on a per unit basis over the relevant range true or false?
true
Fixed costs remain constant in total but vary inversely with changes in activity when expressed on a per unit basis?
True, because when fixed costs are viewed on a per unit basis and as activity level rises we will see a decrease in the average cost. Conversely, fix costs increases per unit as the activity level falls. An example would be the $10,000 rental cost on a machine that assembles 5,000 units which has an average cost of $2/ per unit. Conversely, if the machine only produces 2500 units the average cost will be $4/ per unit.Read more: Fixed_costs_expressed_on_a_per_unit_basis_vary_inversely_with_changes_in_activity_True_or_false
