B)The direct labor needed per unit will decrease at a declining rate as cumulative production increases.
C)The direct labor hours per unit will decrease according to an exponential curve as cumulative production increases.
D)The direct labor needed to produce the 50th unit will always be more than the direct labor needed to produce the 51st unit.
