Which of the following is true of fixed and variable costs? Volume changes will not change the relationship between fixed and variable costs. Fixed costs are fixed in total, but vary per unit; variable costs vary in total, but are fixed per unit. As sales increase, the contribution margin percentage increases.

The contribution margin is what remains after fixed costs have been subtracted from total sales.
