A Level Accounting (9706)•9706/12/M/J/20

Explanation
CVP Analysis Assumptions Steps:
- List standard CVP assumptions: constant unit selling price, constant unit variable costs, total fixed costs constant (not per unit), and production equals sales.
- Evaluate option A: matches constant unit selling price assumption.
- Evaluate option B: matches constant unit variable cost assumption.
- Evaluate option C: contradicts, as unit fixed costs vary with volume while total fixed costs remain constant.
- Evaluate option D: matches no-inventory-change assumption.
Why C is correct:
- In CVP, total fixed costs are constant across volume levels, so unit fixed cost decreases as units increase, per the formula: unit fixed cost = total fixed costs / units sold.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: CVP assumes constant unit selling price for linear revenue behavior.
- B: CVP assumes constant unit variable costs for predictable total variable expenses.
- D: CVP assumes units produced equal units sold to simplify profit calculations without inventory effects.
Final answer: C
