First: When the number of units in inventories decrease between the beginning and end of the period, absorption costing net operating income will typically be greater than variable costing net operating income. Second: When viewed over the long term, accumulated net operating income will be the same for variable and absorption costing if there are no ending inventories at the end of the term. * a. Both statements are true b. Only the first statement is true c. Only the second statement is true d. Both statements are false

ANSWER ALL THE GIVEN ITEMS. Write “True” if the statement is true and write “False” if the statement is false. 2. A variable cost will change in total in proportion to changes in the level of activity.3. A fixed cost is constant per unit of product.4. Cost accumulation, cost allocation, and cost objects are interrelated.5. A variable cost remains constant per unit, though in total increases as activity levels increase.6. If volume increases, both total variables and total fixed costs will increase.7. Decrease in the level of activity will cause total variable and total fixed costs to decrease.8. When graphed, total variable costs and total fixed costs are both assumed to be linear withinthe relevant range.9. Fixed cost is constant in total amount regardless of changes in activity level within the relevantrange.10. Cost function is an express that mathematically links costs, their behavior, and their cost driver.11. As volume decreases within the relevant range, variable cost per unit…
