Answer:

1.

Fixed costs is same for all levels,

Variable cost is 0.75 multiplied by smoothies served.

Total cost is the sum of the fixed and variable cost

Cost per smoothie is total cost divided by smoothies served.

2.

The cost per smoothie will decrease as fixed costs will still be the same, and we will be selling more smoothies at less avg. cost per smoothie.
