The correct answer is c.

Explanation:

If 1,500 units were sold this year less (15% of 10,000)

This means that by producing 1500 units less fewer direct materials, less direct labor, less commissions to sellers, less direct taxes and variable storage costs and any other expenses that are modified to produce 1 less unit or one more unit were acquired. in the production of 1500 units, therefore the variable costs decrease.

On the other hand, regardless of the quantity of units produced, the fixed costs will not be affected, since these must be canceled regardless of the level of activity, such as the rental of the business, administration salaries, fixed taxes, among others)
