Jordyn · Answer 1

The correct answer is a) number of units to be produced.

Explanation:

This condition does not correspond to any activity, since it is not a characteristic of the three groups of costs referenced in the statement. This concept refers to the output of the process, which is determined according to the nature of the operation. It is generally measured in units produced, but in other processes it is usually measured on other variables such as time, money, etc.
