Easiest way to explain this is;
Fixed costs are ones that do not vary with sales. For example, one of the fixed costs of a high street shop is the rent paid for the property. The rent is still the same whether the shop sells nothing or thousands of items.
Variable costs are ones that vary with sales. For example, a shop buys in Tins of beans for an average price of £0.25 each. It then resells the beans for a higher price (to make its profit). For the shop the variable cost is £0.25 per unit of beans.
