(2)No:
Direct materials unite cost      = Direct materials used / Unites produced
                                                = $450,000 / $900,000
                                                = $0.50
Plant-leasing Unite cost          = plant-leasing cost / Unites produced
                                                = $54,000 / $900,000
                                                = $0.06

(3)No:

The direct materials cost are variable, so they would increase in total from $450,000 to $500,000 ($1,000,000 Unites * $0.50). However, their unit cost would be unaffected : $500,000 / $$1,000,000 units =$0.50.
In contrast, the plant-leasing costs of $54,000 are fixed, so they would not increase in total. However, the plant-leasing costs per unit would decline from $0.060 to $0.054: $54,000 / $1,000,000 = $ $0.054.

(4)No:  

The explanation will begin with the answer of requirements 3. As a consultant, you should stress that utilizing (averaging) of costs that have different behavior pattern can be misleading. A common error is to assume that a total unit cost which is often a sum of variable unit cost and fixed cost, is an indicator that cost change in a wholly way as a production level change. The next chapter demonstrates the necessary for distinguishing between cost behaviors per units. You must be wary especially about average fixed cost per unit. Too often unit fixed cost is erroneously as being regard as being indistinguishable from unit variable costs.
