unitanalysis
What is the process of writing units of each variable to a real-life problem called?
The process of writing units of each variable in a real-life problem is called dimensional analysis or unit analysis. It is useful for understanding the real-life problem and for checking to see we get a valid answer. Please see the links for additional explanations.
What does the variable n represent?
It can represent anything. When stating a specific problem, you should clarify what each variable represents.
If variable costs are 70 percent of sales fixed costs are 360000 and each unit is 30 how many units must be sold to break even?
8400 units.
What are the steps when formulating an equation?
Read the problem. Write each fact as a variable expression. Write each fact as a sentence.
Why is fixed cost variable and variable cost fixed?
Well, you first have to look at fixed and variable costs in total as well as on a per unit basis. Fixed costs remain the constant (or fixed) in total. However, on a per unit basis they aren't constant (variable). As units produced increase (or whatever activity base) then the fixed cost per unit decreases. Fixed example: If rent is $8,000, then the total rent will still be $8,000 every month whether or not the company makes 100 products during the period or 1,000. However, using the 100 and 1,000 units as an example, the per unit cost decreases. When the company makes 100 units, the fixed cost per unit is $80 ($8,000/100 units). When the company makes 1,000 units, the fixed cost per unit is $8 ($8,000/1,000 units). The opposite applies for variable costs. Variable costs, by their nature, change with the change in units produced (or again, any other activity base the company uses, such as machine hours or labor hours). Therefore, there will be a different total for 100 units produced and 1,000 units produced. However, the unit cost never changes. Variable example: If a product that a company produces requires a certain part, this is a variable cost. Let's say the cost of the part is $10. The total variable cost for 100 units is $1,000 ($10*100 units), and for 1,000 units it's $10,000 ($10*1,000 units). However, in each case, the variable cost per unit remained at $10. Hope this is what you were looking for!

What is the unit of each variable?
The unit of each variable is dependent of what is being measured.
What are dependent and independent variables and how are they usually related to each other in a problem or situation?
a DEPENDENT variable is one of the two variables in a relationship.its value depends on the other variable witch is called the independent variable.the INDEPENDENT variable is one of the two variables in a relationship . its value determines the value of the other variable called the independent variable.
