The real answer is it depends, ultimately all costs are variable even those costs that would initially appear fixed. Take for example business rates, these are set for the year and will remain the same regardless of the change in volume of the output, however should the output need to rise above the capacity of the existing business premises additional premises or even new premises would need to be acquired and with it a new level of fixed cost. This is sometimes described as step fixed cost, i.e. the cost remains at the same level until a step change is required and then the costs are again fixed at this new level until another step change is required
Total variable cost can increase while the variable cost per unit remains constant if the total quantity of output produced increases. In this scenario, the variable cost per unit does not change, but since more units are being produced, the overall total variable cost rises. Conversely, if the output level stays the same, an increase in total variable cost would imply an increase in the variable cost per unit.
If the price per unit decreases because of competition but the cost structure remains the same
NO both are not same as fixed cost is cost which remains fixed with change in production level while indirect cost is that cost which is not directly related for the production of units.
It remains the same per unit regardless of activity level
Because the production manager's salary remains the same, regardless of the production level, this salary is a fixed cost, not a variable cost.
generally it increases, however, there are some cases where the output actually decreases or remains the same.

If demand remains the same and supply increases, then the prices of goods will decrease. An over-saturated market will lower the price of the product.
If volume increases while mass remains the same, the density will decrease.
The quotient increases.
No these are costs such as rent stay basically same irrespective of output
If the price per unit decreases because of competition but the cost structure remains the same
The density increases as the mass of the solution increases but its volume remains the same.
The equilibrium price is the unit cost, which is the same as the total cost divided by the number of units produced (output).
nothing
Yes - the delivery charge only applies to people getting their paper delivered. The actual cost of the paper remains the same.
When connecting batteries in parallel, the total voltage output remains the same as the voltage of a single battery.
