Which is a correct example of fixed cost in business?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Monthly shop rent
A fixed cost generally remains unchanged in total over a relevant period even when the level of output or sales changes, although it may change after a new contract or capacity decision. Monthly shop rent is a common example. Packaging per item, raw materials linked to production, and delivery per customer usually vary with activity, so they are variable costs.
