True

The fixed costs per unit varies with the changes in activity level

True

The point in operations at which revenues and expired costs are exactly equal is called break even point

True

The ratio that indicates the percentage of each sales dollar available to cover the fixed costs and to provide operating income is termed to contribution margin ratio

True

The relevant range is useful for analyzing cost behavior for management decision-making purposes
