Direct labor wages are normally Variable costs, charged directly to the Production Cost Account, what is commonly called WIP. It is commonly held that direct labor wages change proportionally to the changes of the production level.

In fact, however, hourly wages are only related to a time unit, not to pieces produced. True direct wages are piece-work wages, but very few industries pay their workers by unit of production. We should have the option to treat a direct labor wage as a fixed cost, just as salary is a fixed cost. Monthly or hourly, these payment are paid by time interval, not by production unit

Researchers use experiments rather than other research methods in order to distinguish between?

Researchers use experiments to distinguish between cause and effect relationships. This involves manipulating one variable (independent variable) and observing the effect on another variable (dependent variable) in a controlled setting. Experiments allow researchers to make direct inferences about the relationship between variables, which is difficult to achieve with other research methods.
