Variable cost is directly proportional to production output while fixed cost is constant regardless of production level. For Wesson company, the 12 % increase in sales can only affect the unit variable cost. Its relationship can be seen in the variable cost ratio. Variable cost ratio compares the variable cost to total revenue. Variable cost ratio is one factor that determines profitability.
