What does the straight line for “fixed costs” of Figure 5-1 imply? (It might be easiest to answer this with a fictitious example.)
Straight line in the figure for costs and units of production implies that for any level of activity or volume of production, fixed costs remain same. They do not increase or decrease with the increase or decrease in the units produced. So, the line in the graph is straight as, at varying levels of output in the graph or figure, the fixed cost remains the same.
