Fixed and variable costs:
Fixed costs = do not change in relation to the output level
Variable costs = change in relation to the output level
Cost behavior when output level increases:
Total costs Unit costs
Fixed costs Remain equal Decrease
Proportionally variable Increase Remain equal
costs
Other types of variable costs:
Degressively Progressively Proportionele
variable variable variable
Costs costs costs
Behavior of fixed and variable costs for increasing output level:
Total cost Unit cost
Fixed costs Remain equal Reduce
Proportionally variable Increase Remain equal

Digressively variable Increase Reduce
