Means all the bills and expenses for the business are the same every month.
Incorporating departmental overhead costs in your prices helps you cover the costs of production. Unfortunately, it may make your price more than your competitors.
The three types of cost you are referring to are Fixed, Semi Variable and Variable Costs. On a well though out COA the janitorial costs would fall under administrative costs. Thus fixed.
Direct Labour + Overhead Costs
Following is the formula for total costtotal cost = fixed overheads + variable overheads + direct labor + direct material
Examples are Sunk Costs, Fixed costs and Allocated Costs.

Overhead refers to the cost of a business in a particular period. Specifically, overhead points to fixed and indirect costs. They are non-labor costs. Non-labor costs are variable or fixed. Rent and salaries are examples of fixed costs. Advertising and supplies are variable costs.
What arguments are there in favor of treating fixed manufacturing overhead costs as product costs? As period costs?
All fixed operating expenses from overhead (indirect) departments
Fixed manufacturing overhead costs are shifted from one period to another due to changes in inventories under absorption costing. Every unit that is produced is assigned some fixed manufacturing overhead costs. Assuming that the said unit is not sold during that period, the fixed manufacturing cost assigned to that unit will then become part of the inventory and reported on the balance sheet and not the cost of good sold.
The Actual overhead is calculated throughout the Production cycle for indirect cost associated to the production and the overhead costs applied is based on the fixed rate assigned against the machine or labour hours to be calculated for the difference b/w two are called under or over applied.
weekly overheads also known as fixed costs are costs which do not vary with the number of items sold or produced in the short term. things such as rent must be paid whether or not the business is producing a unit or selling a unit/making any income at all. these costs must be paid.
The difference between Overhead & G&A is as follows: Overhead is always a fixed cost...such as rent. G&A (Stands for General and Administrative) so therefore all general and administrative costs go here....such a supervisor salary. G&A can have cost controls implemented into them...the fixed costs are set (usually in stone). http://www.xsellence.com
Favourable fixed overhead variance occurs when actual fixed cost is less than the budgeted fixed overhead expenses.
Variable overhead cost variance is that variance which is in variable overheads costs between the standard cost and the actual variable cost WHILE fixed overheads cost variance is variance between standard fixed overhead cost and actual fixed overhead cost.
The difference between fixed overhead and variable overhead is that fixed overheads are the ones that do not change regardless and variable overheads are the ones that vary depending on the number of units that it produces. An example of fixed overhead is a managers salary.
Fixed overhead budgeted variance is the difference between estimated budgeted cost and actual fixed overhead cost of production.
