inventory (i.e. stock) is an asset, not a cost. It is considered a current asset, however may be illiquid depending on the product
variable cost
COGS is a mixed bag of fixed and variable costs. Overall, however, it generally behaves like a variable cost; in general, the more units that are produced, the higher inventory production costs will be, and the higher inventory production costs are, the higher COGS will be.
Yes, raw materials inventory is typically considered a variable cost because it fluctuates with production levels. As production increases, the need for raw materials also rises, leading to higher costs. Conversely, when production decreases, the costs associated with raw materials decline. This direct correlation with production output categorizes raw materials as variable costs.
In semi variable cost :variable cost = change in cost/change in output then with that rate * output = variable cost semi variable cost - variable cost = fixed cost
Inventory carrying cost is that cost which is incurred by company to stock the inventory while cost for not having inventory means that cost which company has to bear due to non availability of inventory like loss of sales or good sales opportunity loss cost etc.

A fixed cost is one an organization must pay whether or not it does any business. Rent is a fixed cost. Interest on a loan is a fixed cost. You either pay the interest on your loan or go bankrupt like General Motors. Other costs can be fixed or variable depending on the business. Inventory is variable.

With the right kind of business, you can have layoffs and when business picks up, hire more workers. Union contracts might make labor a fixed cost.
