question 78

Multiple Choice

A curvilinear relationship between variable costs and changes in activity levels suggests what?

• A)A strictly linear relationship between fixed costs and activity levels is implausible.

• C)Since the relationship between activity levels and variable costs is linear within the relevant range and less linear at lower and higher levels outside the relevant range, the straight-line (linear)relationship takes on a curvature in the real world.
• D)none of the above
