+Types of Costs
Fixed Costs
Variable Costs
Semivariable Costs
+Fixed Costs
When an item of expenditure remains the same regardless of the increases or decreases in the level of activity, we refer to this as a fixed cost. For example, placing an advertisement in the Hilltop as part of a marketing campaign for the QBA course would represent a fixed cost.
+Variable Costs
Variable costs increase or decrease in proportion to increases or decreases in the level of productive activity.
The graph shows that the variable costs of providing study materials for this course change in a linear (straight line) fashion.
+Variable Costs
Semi-variable costs behave like fixed costs within a particular range or level of activity. Once that range is exceeded, then the amount spent will rise in a step-by-step fashion.
