These costs are known as variable costs. Variable costs change in proportion to the number of units produced. For example, the cost of raw materials is a variable cost because it increases as more units are produced.<\/p>\n<p>Fixed costs are costs that do not change in proportion to the number of units produced. These costs include rent, insurance, and depreciation. Fixed costs are allocated to each unit produced using a cost allocation method such as direct costing or absorption costing.<\/p>\n<p>Under marginal costing, unit product cost is calculated by dividing total variable costs by the number of units produced. Therefore, unit product cost <div class=\"youtube-subscribe-container\">\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCNHT8lW-JmLC68rjBfZhdkg?sub_confirmation=1\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"youtube-subscribe-button\">\r\n            <span class=\"youtube-icon\">\r\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 576 512\">\r\n                    <path d=\"M549.7 124.1c-6.3-23.7-24.8-42.3-48.3-48.6C458.8 64 288 64 288 64S117.2 64 74.6 75.5c-23.5 6.3-42 24.9-48.3 48.6-11.4 42.9-11.4 132.3-11.4 132.3s0 89.4 11.4 132.3c6.3 23.7 24.8 41.5 48.3 47.8C117.2 448 288 448 288 448s170.8 0 213.4-11.5c23.5-6.3 42-24.2 48.3-47.8 11.4-42.9 11.4-132.3 11.4-132.3s0-89.4-11.4-132.3zm-317.5 213.5V175.2l142.7 81.2-142.7 81.2z\"\/>\r\n                <\/svg>\r\n            <\/span>\r\n            Subscribe on YouTube\r\n        <\/a>\r\n    <\/div> would be increased by a decrease in the number of units produced because variable costs would be spread over a smaller number of units.<\/p>\n<p>Option B is incorrect because an increase in the number of units produced would decrease unit product cost.
