The increase will affect next year's total amounts for the following costs as : a. increase no change increase

Explanation:

Increase of sales by 15% next year affects the units of production and sales.

This increment will result in incremental costs of revenues and costs that vary with the number of units produced and sold

Thus, Variable Costs = Increase

Fixed Cost = No Change

Mixed Costs = Increase (the Variable Component Only)
