PART 2: If machine hours are constant per unit of finished product, which of the above costs (A, B, ..., F) would decrease on a cost per unit basis if the number of units made increased?
GIVEN: CVP Company manufactures and sells Product V. As part of the budgeting process, management made the following estimates for 2016 related to the production and sale of 10,000 units of Product V. CVP Company maintains near zero inventory levels at year-end so the total of all production costs approximates cost of goods sold. Product V sells for $100 per unit.
