Fixed and Variable Cost Behavior
Killy's Baskets has the following current-year costs:
VC $6 per unit
FC $7,000
Killy and a key supplier have entered into an arrangement that will result in a per-unit decrease in Killy's variable cost of $0.50 next year. Rental space will also be reduced, thereby decreasing fixed costs by 10 percent.
Required
