From the perspective of the income statement and profits, there is no difference between bucketing costs in variable or bucketing them in fixed. The operating profit line of the income statement takes both costs into account so that an increase in one with an offsetting decrease in another will have zero impact to profits. Issue related to bucketing of certain items are normally internal discussions for a business and relate to various scorecards or metrics of interdepartmental performance. In most businesses there are separate mgrs and depts responsible for variable cost and fixed costs so the debate over where to bucket certain items is driven by whose scorecard they fall onto and ideally costs should be bucketed internally onto the scorecard of the mgr/dept with the greatest ability to influence those costs.

What fo you call direct relationship in which two factors increase or decrease together?

A direct relationship in which two factors increase or decrease together is called a positive correlation. In this scenario, as one variable rises, the other variable also rises, and similarly, if one falls, the other falls as well. This relationship is often represented graphically with an upward-sloping line.


Is it true or false that a constant is the factor being measured in an expiriment?

False. In an experiment, a constant refers to a factor that does not change, while the variable being measured is typically called the dependent variable. The constant helps ensure that the experiment tests the effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable without interference from other factors.


Define manipulated responding and controlled variables?

the controlled variables are the factors that are kept constant during an experiment. if they are not kept constant then they may affect the outcome of the experiment. the manipulated variable is the factor that is different between the experiment and the control. the responding variable is the variable that is being measured in the experiment.


What is a variable term?

A variable term is a component of an expression that includes a variable, which is a symbol representing an unknown value, often denoted by letters such as x or y. Variable terms can be combined with coefficients (numerical factors) to form algebraic expressions, such as 3x or -5y. In contrast, constant terms are numbers without variables. Together, variable and constant terms form the building blocks of algebraic equations and expressions.


What are the three types of variables?

The three types of variables are: Independent: it is the one that you manipulate Dependent: the one that reacts to the changes in the independent variable and is measured in a experiment Control: all the other factors that could affect the dependent variable but are kept constant through out an experiment

Is a constant a number variable or the product of a number and one or more variables?

A constant is not a variable at all, and none of its factors was a variable. It is constant.


How does supplies affect the price of a product?

A higher price will cause an increase in supply, assuming that all other factors remain constant. Likewise, a decrease in price will cause a decrease of supply and an increase in demand.

Why are most factors held constant in scientific experiment?

because other conditions could affect the dependent variable


What is the constant variable?

factors in an experiment that are kept the same and not allowed to change or vary.


How does the law of variable proportion affect the cost curve?

As we know law of variable proportion means as we increase the quantity of one input keeping other input fix... the Total physical product increase @ increasing rate than increase at decreasing rate than at decreasing rate.... and cost curve is totally dependent upon total variable cost curve.... so if the output is increasing this is due to increase in variable factors( labors) and if labors increase the cost will be obviously more as the labor increase....+


What is the law of diminishing returns?

the law of diminishing returns states that as a set of variable factors is added to a set of fixed factor, the marginal product and average product will first increase then eventually decrease
