Fixed costs - There are two types of costs, variable and fixed. Fixed costs are costs that are
not linked to production; they do not change depending on how much output is made. So
no matter how much output a company produces, the fixed will stay the exact same. They
do change, but the change is not linked to the production levels. Some examples of fixed
costs include rent, insurance, lighting interest payments and internet. For example, if a
bakery bakes 100 cakes or 10, their fixed will stay the same, because they are not related to
the quantity of the cakes.
Variable costs - The other type of costs are variable costs, these are the opposite of fixed
costs and do change depending on the levels of production. These costs are linked to the
quantity of output that is produced, if more output is produced then these costs will
increase and if the quantity of the output decrease then these costs will also go down.
Variable costs include direct materials related to the output or the cost of sales, sales
