    Instructions are listed below.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    10,000 units of a product were manufactured, the cost per unit was $60. At this level of activity, variable costs are 50% of total unit costs.

    Total cost = 10,000*60 = 600,000

    Variable cost = 60*0.5 = 30

    Total variable cost = 30*10,000 = 300,000

    Total fixed cost = 300,00

    A. total variable cost will remain unchanged. False: The total variable cost varies according to production.

    B. fixed costs will increase in total. False: fixed costs remain the same in relevant ranges.

    C. variable cost per unit will increase. False: in unitary levels, variable cost remains constant. It only changes when computed the totality.

    D. The total cost per unit will decrease. True: because of the fixed costs gets divided by a larger amount of units.

    Total variable cost = 10,500*30 = 315,000

    fixed costs = 300,000

    Total cost = 615,000

    Unitary cost = 615,000/10,500 = $58.57
