I agree with B. Total costs increase as more units are produced.
PE

I'm leaning towards D. Variable costs change with production levels.
CA

I feel it's C. Semi-variable costs have fixed and variable components.
RE

I think it's A. Fixed costs don't change with output.
FA

This graph seems off for a fixed cost, right?
QU

Wait, is that really how variable costs are shown?
CO

I thought it could be semi-variable too, but not sure.
CH

Definitely option D, can't be anything else.
RO

Looks like a variable cost graph to me!
SH

Variable cost per unit would be a weird way to represent it, so I'm going with B.

Haha, I bet the exam writer is trying to trick us with these similar-sounding options. Gotta stay on our toes!

The graph doesn't look like a fixed cost, so B or D could be the right answer.
TA

I agree, the linear relationship between the activity level and total cost points to a variable cost.
TR

Option B seems correct, the graph shows a variable cost where the total cost incurred increases as the activity level rises.
EM

I feel like the vertical axis being total cost incurred could help identify it as a variable cost, but I need to double-check my notes.
KE

I’m leaning towards option C, but I can't recall how to differentiate between semi-variable and variable costs clearly.
PH

I remember practicing a similar question where we had to identify fixed vs. variable costs based on graphs. This one feels tricky!
AN

I think this graph might show a variable cost, but I'm not sure if it's total cost or cost per unit on the vertical axis.
SH
Sherly

This is a tricky one, but I think I've got it. The linear relationship and the fact that the line doesn't pass through the origin means it's not a fixed cost. And since the vertical axis is showing total cost, not cost per unit, I'm going to go with option C, a semi-variable cost.
DE

I'm a bit confused by this question. The graph doesn't seem to match the options very well. I'll need to re-read the question and the options carefully to make sure I understand what they're asking for.
VI
Vincenza

Okay, I think I've got this. The linear relationship and the fact that the line doesn't pass through the origin suggests it's a semi-variable cost, where the vertical axis is showing total cost incurred. I'm going with option C.
LO
Loreta

Hmm, the graph has a linear relationship, so it's probably not a fixed cost. I'm leaning towards it being a variable cost, but I'm not confident about whether the vertical axis is showing cost per unit or total cost.
VA
Vanda

This graph looks like it could represent a variable cost, but I'm not sure if the vertical axis is showing cost per unit or total cost. I'll need to think through the options carefully.
TA
Tasia

Good point! We need to analyze the graph more closely.
GO
Goldie

But is it cost per unit or total cost?
RO
Roosevelt

I think it’s definitely a variable cost.
