  • Question
    Why does the fixed cost increase and the variable cost remains the same? It should be the opposite.
    Community Answer
    Total fixed costs should remain the same. The fixed cost per unit will vary according to how many units are produced. For example, if fixed costs were $4000, and 400 units were produced, fixed cost per unit is $10. If 100 units were produced, then fixed cost per unit is $40.
