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.

How do you calculate variable cost?
Variable cost = Total Cost/ fixed cost
Which costs will change with an increase in activity within the relevant range?

How do you calculate variable cost per unit?
Variable cost per unit = Total variable cost / total number of units manufactured
Why average cost increase when marginal cost is increasing?
Marginal cost = derivative of (Total cost/Quantity) Where Total cost = fixed cost + variable cost Marginal cost = derivative (Variable cost/Quantity) (by definition, fixed costs do not vary with quantity produced) Average cost = Total cost/Quantity The rate of change of average cost is equivalent to its derivative. Thus, AC' = derivative(Total cost/Quantity) => derivative (Variable cost/Quantity) = MC. So, when MC is increasing, AC' is increasing. That is, when marginal cost increases, the rate of change of average cost must increase, so average cost is always increasing when marginal cost is increasing.
Why variable cost per unit are constant?
Because variable cost per unit took an arrow to the knee.
Why does variable cost per unit stay the same but total cost varies with the number of units you produce?
Variable cost per unit remains constant because it is the cost that varies directly with each unit produced, such as materials or labor specifically tied to production. However, total cost varies with the number of units because it is the sum of fixed costs (which do not change with production level) and variable costs (which increase with each additional unit). Therefore, as you produce more units, the total variable costs accumulate, leading to an increase in total cost, while the cost per unit stays the same.
How does the law of variable proportion affect the cost curve?
As we know law of variable proportion means as we increase the quantity of one input keeping other input fix... the Total physical product increase @ increasing rate than increase at decreasing rate than at decreasing rate.... and cost curve is totally dependent upon total variable cost curve.... so if the output is increasing this is due to increase in variable factors( labors) and if labors increase the cost will be obviously more as the labor increase....+
How can one determine the variable cost when given the fixed cost in a business scenario?
To determine the variable cost in a business scenario when given the fixed cost, you can subtract the fixed cost from the total cost. Variable costs are expenses that change based on the level of production or sales, while fixed costs remain constant regardless of production levels. By subtracting the fixed cost from the total cost, you can isolate the variable cost component.
Formula for total variable cost?
Total Variable Cost = Number of Units * Variable cost per unit
What is the behavior of total variable cost as output increases?
tvc will also inscrease as output increase
Total variable cost does not increase in proportion to output is it true?
False, it is the fixed cost which is not increased or decreased with proportion to output.
What effect does an increase in volume have on A UNIT FIXED COSTS B UNIT VARIABLE COSTS C Total Fixed Costs D Total Variable Costs?
A unit fixed cost decreases as volume increases, since fixed costs remain constant while being spread over more units. Unit variable costs remain unchanged regardless of volume, as they are dependent on the cost per unit produced. Total fixed costs stay the same, as they do not vary with production levels. Total variable costs increase with volume, as they are directly related to the number of units produced.
Does total cost equal the fixed cost plus the vriable cost divides by volume?
Formula for Total Cost: Fixed Cost + Variable Cost + Semi-Variable Cost if there is no semi-variable cost then fixed cost + variable cost is a total cost. if we devide the total cost with volume as well then it will be cost per unit not total cost
How do you calculate variable cost?
Variable cost = Total Cost/ fixed cost
Fixed cost variable cost equals?
Fixed cost and variable cost is equal to total cost as per following formula: Total Cost = Fixed Cost + Variable Cost

What is the formula to find the average variable cost?
Average Variable Cost = Total Variable Cost/ Quantity Average Cost = Average Fixed Cost + Average Variable Cost Average Cost = Total Cost/Quantity
