Fixed costs are costs that DO NOT change in response to changes to activity levels.Variable costs are costs that change in proportion to changes in volume or activity.It's simple, you just have to remember:Fixed cost:Total - DO NOT changePer unit -CHANGES (usually, decrease)Variable cost:Per unit - SAMETotal -CHANGES
Labor cost can be fixed as well as variable. That labor which varies with changes in level of production then it is variable cost but if labor remain fixed then it is fixed cost.
Fixed and do not change. A variable cost changes. Fixed costs are things like rent, salaries, or any other cost that does not change over time.
Variable costs are different in this sense that fixed cost remains fixed and it has no impact of change in production level while variable cost changes with the change in production level.
Fixed costs do not affect short-run marginal cost because they are just that- fixed. They are not dependent on quantity when it changes and does not vary directly with the level of output. Variable costs, however, do affect short-run marginal costs.
Generally variable costs are relevant costs but if due to any decision fixed costs are also going to affected then fixed costs are also relevant costs.
There are variable and fixed costs. Businesses can manipulate the variable costs, but they cannot change their fixed costs in business.
Type your answer here... fixed cost + variable cost = total cost
The three types of cost you are referring to are Fixed, Semi Variable and Variable Costs. On a well though out COA the janitorial costs would fall under administrative costs. Thus fixed.
Fixed Costs: Salaries Variable Costs: Medicines, ambulance fuel, paper, "CEO & friends"benefits package.
Variable operating costs + fixed operating costs = total operating costs.
Cost-Volume-Profit (CVP) Analysis considers the impact that changes in output have on revenue, costs, and net income. In applying CVP Analysis, costs are separated into variable and fixed costs. This distinction is important because, as mentioned previously, variable costs change with changes in output, whereas fixed costs remain constant throughout what is referred to as a relevant range. CVP analysis is based on the following equation: Profit = Total Revenues - Total variable costs - Total fixed costs
