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.
An example of semi variable direct costs is wages. Since semi variable costs are partially fixed and variable, regular labor is fixed costs, as production rises and workers have overtime the overtime is considered the variable cost.
Variable costs are costs that increase in total as output increases. For example, total labor costs increase per each hour worked; total direct materials costs increase per unit produced, etc.
An example of variable costs for a business includes raw materials used in production. For instance, a bakery incurs variable costs for flour, sugar, and eggs, which increase or decrease depending on the number of baked goods produced. Other examples include packaging costs and direct labor wages tied to production levels. As sales rise or fall, these costs fluctuate accordingly.
labor costs, raw material, transportation, etc
To calculate your break even point you need to total your fixed costs and your variable costs (separately) . The equation is fixed costs ÷ (price - variable costs). Variable costs are your costs associated with production. If u produce one additional unit variable cost will increase and fixed costs will not. When you reach your break even point you have covered all if your fixed costs (for the month, for example). All units sold after break even will bring net income for the period since your fixed costs are covered.

Raw materials
One example of a variable cost in a business is labor costs because the amount of people a business employs fluctuates greatly, especially during the holiday season. Another example of a variable cost is the cost of materials.

Real costs and variable costs are not the same, though they can overlap. Real costs typically refer to the actual costs incurred in production, including both fixed and variable costs, while variable costs specifically change with the level of production, such as materials and labor directly associated with output. In summary, while all variable costs are real costs, not all real costs are variable costs.
Variable costs vary depending on a company's production. Production, or output, and costs are included in variable costs. Production and costs are directly related.
Variable operating costs + fixed operating costs = total operating costs.
Variable costs are costs that increase in total as output increases. For example, total labor costs increase per each hour worked; total direct materials costs increase per unit produced, etc.
Average total cost is the average of all your costs. This is your Fixed Costs and your Variable costs. Average Variable Cost is the average of your costs that can fluctuate.
