Cost behavior identification
C1
Listed here are four series of separate costs measured at various volume levels. Examine each series and identify whether it is best described as a fixed, variable, step-wise, or curvilinear cost. (It can help to graph each cost series.)
Volume (Units) | Series 1 | Series 2 | Series 3 | Series 4 |
0 | 1 0 | 1150 | $ 900 | $100 |
