, Cost behavior
Variable costs-changes in total in proportion to changes in the related level of
activity or volume.
Fixed costs – remain unchanged in total regardless of changes in the related level of
activity or volume.
Costs are fixed or variable only with respect to a specific activity or a given time
period.
Variable cost Example
GoSound produces portable music players.
Each unit produced requires a digital chip that costs $11.
For example, $1,650,000 is spent when 150,000 units are produced (150,000 x $11)
Fixed Costs Example
Assume that GoSound leases the manufacturing facility where the portable music
players are assembled.
Rent is $1,200,000 no matter the level of production.
The rent is said to be a “fixed” cost, because total rent will not change as output rises
and falls.
