within the relevant range. The average fixed
cost per unit varies inversely with changes
in volume.

1-13 A differential cost is a cost that differs
between alternatives in a decision. A sunk cost
is a cost that has already been incurred and
cannot be altered by any decision taken now or
in the future. An opportunity cost is the potential
benefit that is given up when one alternative is
selected over another.
1-14 No, differential costs can be either
variable or fixed. For example, the alternatives
might consist of purchasing one machine rather
than another to make a product. The difference
between the fixed costs of purchasing the two
machines is a differential cost.
