Fixed Expenses:
These are those expenses which don't change with change of production rate and remain fixed up to certain measurement base criteria. For Example: if machine can produce 1000 units and have a operating cost of $1000 per month then it will remain $1000 from 0 - 1000 units range no matter we produce how much units in this range so this $ 1000 is fixed expanse for operating this machine.
Variable Expenses:
These are those expenses which change with the change of units of products but remain fixed relative to units of product. For example if 1 unit requires $ 10 to produce and we produce 10 units then variable cost will be $100 and if we produce 100 units it will goes to $1000. So it is changing according to quantity of units but remain fixed relative to 1 unit of product which is $10 per unit.
