Answer #1

Correct answer-----------It decreases.

.

If activity level decreases the total variable cost also decreases and if activity level increase then total variable cost increase as well. This is because the variable cost remains same on per unit level. Variable cost will be incurred only when production is done. On production of each unit total variable cost increase by variable cost per unit. Below given example will show the theory in numerical terms.

Production in units (A) 15000 25000 10000
Variable cost per unit ( B) $ 5.00 $ 5.00 $ 5.00
Total Variable cost (A x B) $          75,000.00 $   125,000.00 $ 50,000.00
