Break-even analysis assumes the total cost line is

  • A.curved throughout the whole range of output
  • B.horizontal at every level of output
  • C.steeper at low output than at high output
  • D.straight over the relevant range of output

Answer: D

Correct answer: straight over the relevant range of output

Linearity is the central assumption. Total cost is taken as fixed cost plus a constant variable cost per unit, which gives a straight line, and revenue likewise. It holds only over the relevant range - the band of output within which the fixed costs do not step up and the variable cost per unit does not change through bulk discounts, overtime premiums or diminishing returns. Outside that band the analysis does not apply.
