### Understanding Cost Behavior: Fixed, Variable, and Mixed CostsIn this exercise, we analyze five series of costs (A through E) measured at various volume levels. The goal is to identify each series as either fixed, variable, mixed, step-wise, or curvilinear.#### Data Table:| Volume (Units) | Series A | Series B | Series C | Series D | Series E ||----------------|----------|----------|----------|----------|----------|| 0 | $0 | $2,500 | $6,000 | $1,000 | $5,000 || 400 | $3,600 | $3,100 | $6,000 | $2,000 | $5,000 || 800 | $7,200 | $3,700 | $6,000 | $3,000 | $5,000 || 1,200 | $10,800 | $4,400 | $7,200 | $3,000 | $5,000 || 1,600 | $14,400 | $4,900 | $8,200 | $3,000 | $5,000 || 2,000 | $18,000 | $5,600 | $10,000 | $4,000 | $5,000 || 2,400 | $21,600 | $6,100 | $13,500 | $4,000 | $5,000 |#### Analysis Guide:1. **Series A**: Check if costs increase proportionally with volume. This suggests variable costs.2. **Series B**: Slight increases at certain points may indicate mixed costs.3. **Series C**: Constant cost up to a point, then increasing, may suggest step-wise costs.4. **Series D**: Costs increase with volume but also remain flat at various levels, indicating a mixed or step-wise pattern.5. **Series E**: Constant across all volume levels, suggesting fixed costs.### Visual Aid Explanation:There is a small table with empty spaces next to each series, possibly for categorizing them based on the analysis done above. This can be used as an exercise or worksheet to engage learners in identifying the

Variable Cost - It is a cost that rises with the increase or decreases with the increase or decrease…
