C) utilities expense is a mixed cost and rent expense is a fixed cost.

Explanation:

                         1,000 units of output           5,000 units of output

                         direct materials                    direct materials

                         $5,000     $5.00                   $25,000      $5.00

                        utilities expense                    utilities expense

                         $1,000       $1.00                    $3,750        $0.75

                         rent expense                          rent expense

                         $4,000       $4.00                  $4,000        $0.80

Utilities expense is a mixed expense since it has a fixed amount + a variable amount, that is why average utilities expenses cost per unit decreases only a little as the number of units produced increase. For 1,000 units the utilities expense = $1,000, while as the units increase, the utilities expense increases to $3,750, but the average cost per unit decreases from $1 to$0.75.

Rent expense is a fixed cost, since it is equal to $4,000 no matter how many units are produced.

answer; automated fingerprint;

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
