decreases
In an inverse relationship, when one variable increases, the other variable decreases. This means that as one variable gains value, the other loses value in a way that the product of the two variables remains constant. For example, if variable X increases, variable Y will decrease proportionately to maintain that constant relationship. This type of relationship is often represented mathematically as Y = k/X, where k is a constant.
decrease
It decreases as the variable on which it depends increases.
Example of inverse proportion is: Density = Mass/Volume Because the formula represents that the density is directly proportional to the mass while density is inversely proportional to volume. Remember that inversely proportional means that if variable A increases, the variable B decreases, and if variable B increases, the variable A decreases.
The break-even point increases when fixed costs increase or selling price decreases. It decreases when fixed costs decrease or selling price increases. Changes in variable costs or sales volume can also impact the break-even point.
Correlation
This is called a negative correlation. It means that as one variable increases, the other variable decreases, and vice versa.
In a direct relationship, as one variable increases, the other variable also increases. Conversely, as one variable decreases, the other variable decreases as well. The relationship between the two variables is positive and proportional.
dependent variable improves (or increases) as independent variable increases
The contribution ratio is the relationship between total sales revenue and total variable costs. If the components change, such as an increase in sales revenue or a decrease in variable costs, the contribution ratio will increase. Conversely, if sales revenue decreases or variable costs increase, the contribution ratio will decrease.
A positive correlation coefficient means that as the value of one variable increases, the value of the other variable increases; as one decreases the other decreases. A negative correlation coefficient indicates that as one variable increases, the other decreases, and vice-versa.
