Reason: $75 + $80 + $100 + $10 - $50 = $215 215

True or false: To properly interpret total average unit cost, it must be separated into unit variable and unit fixed costs.

True

True or false: The cost driver for a variable cost can be either volume-based or activity based.

True Reason: A variable cost is a cost that changes in total in response to changes in one or more cost drivers.
