Type your answer here... fixed cost + variable cost = total cost
Fixed costs are costs that cannot be changed in the short-term without causing significant harm to the organization. Because you cannot change them, you should not consider them in comparative analysis of alternatives.
Break-even is 8,000 units. 100,000/(28-15.50)=8,000
There are many real life situations in which two variables are related through a linear equation. Some examples from those used in schools: Temperature in Celsius and Fahrenheit scales Manufactrunig costs as fixed costs plus unit costs Cab fares as fixed amount plus distance-related amount Workmen charges as call out plus hourly rate
From the perspective of the income statement and profits, there is no difference between bucketing costs in variable or bucketing them in fixed. The operating profit line of the income statement takes both costs into account so that an increase in one with an offsetting decrease in another will have zero impact to profits. Issue related to bucketing of certain items are normally internal discussions for a business and relate to various scorecards or metrics of interdepartmental performance. In most businesses there are separate mgrs and depts responsible for variable cost and fixed costs so the debate over where to bucket certain items is driven by whose scorecard they fall onto and ideally costs should be bucketed internally onto the scorecard of the mgr/dept with the greatest ability to influence those costs.
what does fixed costs mean
Fixed costs are considered capacity costs because if a company expands, fixed costs will change. Additionally, if a company adds more resources, fixed costs will change.
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.
Yes normally fixed costs are period costs because these costs have to be paid no matter production done or not.
When fixed costs decrease, what does this do for sales?
Fixed costs are assigned to all products. Variable costs are assigned only to the product that led to the cost.
Some committed fixed costs are the most difficult of fixed costs to change because they are required to maintain basic operations. For example, rent is a fixed cost that is difficult to change because it is bound by a lease.
E-commerce reduces fixed costs because it eliminates or reduces many fixed costs such as location, employees and insurance.

leasing costs, committed costs are fixed costs that are caused by the possession of facilities, materials, etc.
There are variable and fixed costs. Businesses can manipulate the variable costs, but they cannot change their fixed costs in business.
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.
