Which of the following statements is true of the behavior of total variable costs, within the relevant range? A. They will increase as production decreases. B. They will decrease as production decreases. C. They will remain the same as production levels change. D. They will decrease as production increases.

They will decrease as production decreases

Explanation:

Total Variable cost is sum of all the cost incurred in production of total units of goods produced. It is directly proportional to the number of units of goods produced. It helps to analyze cost structure of goods and then decide on pricing strategy of the goods. Some of the examples of variable cost can be packaging cost, raw material’s cost.

Mathematically it can be defined as  

Total variable cost = Total units of goods produced *  variable cost for one unit of good produced  

Hence from the given option  They will decrease as production decreases as the number of units of goods produced will decrease and hence lesser raw material and packaging will be required to produce the goods.

cognitive overload: having a lot on your mind impairs decision-making and tends to result in the simplest, but not necessarily best, option being selected.

empathy gaps: overlooking how you might feel in a different situation can result in unnecessary purchases, such as overbuying when shopping for food on an empty stomach.

optimism and overconfidence: wearing rose-tinted glasses and having unrealistic expectations about the future can affect money management and leave you unprepared for a change in circumstance.

instant gratification: seeking instant gratification drives impulsive spending and can undermine long-term planning and savings.

harmful habits: automatic or mindless behaviour can amplify a poor financial decision as it becomes a recurring event.

social norms: we are heavily influenced by the actions of others; while this can be in certain circumstances, it also contributes to the pressure to keep up with the joneses through conspicuous consumption.
