False

Which of the following statements is true regarding fixed and variable costs?

Fixed costs are constant in total, and variable costs are constant per unit.

The primary difference between a static budget and a flexible budget is that a static budget

is a plan for a single level of production, whereas a flexible budget can be converted to any level of production.

For purposes of analysis, mixed costs are generally:

separated into their variable and fixed cost components
