they are both inportant, because they both burn your money.
Boxes are typically considered variable costs, as their expenses fluctuate based on the volume of products being produced or sold. The more products a company manufactures or ships, the more boxes it will need, leading to changes in cost. However, if a company has a fixed contract for a certain number of boxes, that portion could be considered a fixed cost.
Semi-variable costs, as we all know, are costs that both has a fixed and variable costs in it. Semi-variable costs though vary in any way, in does not move in direct proportion with sales and/or any productive activity. The fixed portion of these types of expenses can readily be established/identified, but the variable portion gives us all the burden, since it's the variable portion that requires attention. In preparing a budget, we may take into consideration the movement of the variable portion of these expenses and consider in your re-calculation the actual market price movement and the consumprion or usage to come out with a more reasonable figure.
Delivery expenses are typically considered variable costs, as they fluctuate based on the volume of goods shipped. The more products a company delivers, the higher the delivery costs will be. However, if a business has a fixed fee for certain delivery services regardless of the number of deliveries, it can also have mixed cost elements. Overall, the classification depends on the specific nature of the delivery expenses incurred by the business.
A simi-variable cost has both variable and fixed factors. An organization's telephone and electric costs are simi- variable. These costs are fixed. However, if more electricity is used, or more telephone calls are made in a given period, they become variable.
AnswerVariable costs change in relation to (and generally in proportion to) sales. Examples include:Chlorine costs for a pool-service company. (More pools serviced = more revenues = more chlorine bought).The cost of nails for a building contractor. (More houses sold = more nails bought).The cost of temporary labor for a temporary staffing company. (More temps placed = more temps hired and paid.)The cost of paper for a printing company. (More jobs printed = more paper used)The cost of beef for a restaurant. (You get the idea).**Costs will increase per production**if there are no production, then there are no coststherefore any 'materials' is an example
In business, there are two common types of expenses: variable and fixed. Variable expenses are those which change as production changes, whereas fixed charges are usually the same regardless of the amount produced in the short term. Some examples of variable expenses for a packaged goods company: -The cost of the product (raw materials, packaging) -Labor and conversion costs at the factory (the more you produce the more labor will be required) -Overheads at the factory (the more you produce, the more water and electricity you will use)
The opposite of "fixed" expenses are "variable" expenses. You would have both fixed and variable expenses every month.Fixed expenses are the same amount every month - no matter what.Variable expenses are different (they vary) every month depending on choices you make every month.Examples of fixed expenses:rent - it's the same amount whether you're there every day or on vacation for 2 weekscar payment - it's the same whether you drive it daily or it's in the garagestudent loans -garbage collection - (unless you have them haul off furniture or appliances)Examples of variable expenses:electric - the more you use, the higher your billwater - the more you use, the higher your billgroceries - depends on what you buy each weekentertainment - renting movies vs. going out to dinner vs. going to the beach vs. road trip vs. amusement park vs. bar with friends

Yes, the fixed cost become variable the more a given produce is produced. As the produce declines so does the variable as well.

Office supplies are typically considered a variable cost because their expenses can fluctuate based on the level of business activity. As more work is done or more employees are hired, the need for supplies like paper, pens, and other materials increases. However, in some cases, a portion of office supply costs can be fixed if a business maintains a consistent inventory level regardless of activity. Overall, the predominant classification is variable.
The break-even point changes inversely with fixed costs and directly with variable costs. If fixed costs increase, the break-even point rises, meaning more units must be sold to cover expenses. Conversely, if variable costs increase, the break-even point also increases, as each unit contributes less to covering fixed costs. Reducing costs, either fixed or variable, lowers the break-even point, allowing fewer sales to achieve profitability.
Flexible expenses are variable costs that can change from month to month based on personal choices or circumstances. Unlike fixed expenses, which remain constant (such as rent or mortgage payments), flexible expenses include items like dining out, entertainment, and travel. These expenses can be adjusted or reduced as needed, allowing individuals to manage their budgets more effectively. By monitoring flexible expenses, one can enhance financial stability and prioritize spending.
