Reynaldo Carey · Answer 1

A) Remains constant Remains constant

Explanation:

When the production level changes, the variable cost per unit and the fixed cost per unit remain constant.

But if we say about the total variable cost, then it would be changed according to the production level as it shows a direct relationship between the total variable cost and the production level.

The total fixed cost would remain the same whether production level changes or not.
