costs that do not vary with the level of output.

Costs that remain invariant with changes in volume of output such as rent, depreciation, wages, insurance and administrative costs. Fixed costs arise as a result of capacity creation and are invariant with respect to variations of activity (capacity utilisation). They are essentially a function of time.

Those costs which are not variable costs.

production costs that are not related to the level of production; also referred to as overhead costs.

Costs that remain the same regardless of how many pieces are printed. Examples are plate charges and set up fees.

Fixed Costs are expenses that don't change based on production or sales volumes. They include salaries, rent, insurance, etc.

Costs that do not vary with production or sales level.

Expenses that are assumed not to vary with sales volume within the expected range of sales volumes, such as rent or administrative costs. This is an important concept in breakeven analysis and in distinguishing between gross margin and contribution margin. See also variable costs.

Those costs whose level is wholly independent of the level of production.

In contrast to variable costs, are incurred and remain about the same regardless of level of activity. See Overhead.

Costs which do not vary, such as monthly payments on a hire purchase agreement.

Costs that do not vary with the number of units produced. For example, depreciation. In the long run all costs are variable and some costs have both a fixed and variable component.

Costs incurred by a utility in providing services that are constant, regardless of the amount of service provided.

Costs that do not change or vary with usage, output or production.

Costs that do not change based on the number of units. These costs are nonrecurring. (PMI)

Costs that do not change when the levels of production or sales change (i.e. rent) also called overhead.

Costs that you will incur no matter what level of activities you carry out (e.g. office rent). The opposite of Variable Costs.

Costs that a company incurs in making goods regardless of how much it is producing. A firm that manufactures aluminium pipes has to pay for the cost of its factory and machines whether it makes one pipe or 1,000. (See economies of scale.)

are any costs or expenses that do not vary too much with changes in the volume of operations over a specified time. Rent expense is usually considered a fixed expense. However, no cost is fixed over the long term.

Costs which do not fluctuate with business volume in the short run.

operating costs that are unaffected by variations in volumes of output; this does not mean that they do not vary over time in response to other cost factors (for example, price increases).

Fixed amounts that do not vary with changes in the volume of sales or production, i.e. rent, depreciation, interest payments.

the costs resulting from fixed inputs, sometimes called overhead costs

Fixed costs are those expenses incurred by a company despite changes in sales. This includes labor and depreciation expenses, as well as interest payments. On the other hand, variable costs are those expenses that change with sales, such as materials purchases and sales commissions. Sales minus fixed and variable costs equals a firm's profits. Consider the case of two companies, both with hypothetical sales of 100 and profits of 10. Even though both firms have profit margins of 10%, Company A has a ratio of variable expenses to sales of 50% and fixed costs of 40. Consequently, if sales drop to 80, Company A can just cover its fixed costs. Company B, on the other hand, has a variable cost ratio of 30% and fixed costs of 60. If its sales drop to 85.7, Company B would be unable to cover its fixed costs. As the example above demonstrates, cutting fixed costs is an important factor in raising a firm's profitability.

Costs, such as rent, which do not fluctuate in proportion to the level of sales or production.

See costs, fixed.

Costs that have a long life, such as truck payment, mortgage, insurance, etc.

costs that remain same regardless of the level of production

Those costs in a self funded plan that are in addition to the claims and generally include all administration charges plus stoploss premiums.

costs faced by a firm that are independent of output; e.g. rent, machinery, a building, etc.

Costs that do not vary according to throughput or the amount of service provided. For example, the cost of debt is a fixed cost for a pipeline or an LDC. Pipeline and LDC costs are classified as either fixed or variable. Pipeline rates are generally designed on a two-part basis, with fixed costs covered by a reservation charge and variable costs covered by a commodity charge. A pipeline's average cost for a period of time is very dependent upon the volume for the period of time because a large potion of the pipeline's cost is fixed cost. (Compare with variable cost.)

Costs identified as regular and reoccurring expenses as projected in a church budget. Costs such as salaries, utilities, insurance premiums and contractual obligations.

Regularly impacting operating expenses such as taxes, insurance and maintenance.

Costs of doing business such as rent, utilities, depreciation, taxes, etc., that remain generally the same regardless of the amount of sales of goods or services.

expenses that do not change regardless of production increases or decreases, for example, rent, insurance, interest on loans, etc.

See fixed expenses. To Top

Also called ' Overhead Costs', are those which will not change with a relatively small change in the size of an enterprise though they may change in magnitude over time. Examples are permanent staff wages, interest, insurance and rates. Compare with variable costs. They are unavoidable costs in the short to medium term.

Also known as overhead, are costs that do not vary with production or sales revenue, i.e. rent, heat, salaries etc.

Costs that remain constant regardless of fluctuations in sales or production.

Fixed costs are the running costs that take time to wind down: usually rent, overhead, some salaries. Technically, fixed costs are those that the business would continue to pay even if it went bankrupt. In practice, fixed costs are usually considered the

Business costs that do not vary with sales volume.

Costs that remain relatively constant regardless of the volume of operations. Examples are rent, depreciation, property taxes and executive salaries.

Those costs that do not vary with changes in the number of units produced or sold. p. 594

Costs that do not vary with the level of activity. Some fixed costs continue even if no cargo is carried. Terminal leases, rent and property taxes are fixed costs.

Costs whose total remains constant even though the volume of activity may vary.

Expenses that are payable monthly and which do not relate to actual claims paid or incurred, such as premium and administration costs.

Fixed costs are costs that do not vary based on the quantity of products produced, but instead stay constant.

The day-to-day cost of doing business that is pre-committed, such as salaries, insurance, lease expenses, utilities, etc.

Costs which do not change with fluctuations in census or in utilization of services.

The annual costs associated with the ownership of property such as depreciation, taxes, insurance, and the cost of capital.

These are costs which do not vary directly with size of enterprise. Eg a tractor could be used for growing 300 ha of cereals or 350 ha. Some costs eg fuel are difficult to allocate to enterprises because records are not accurate enough.

Costs that do not vary with a firm's output and must be covered even if the firm is shut down by, say, a storm or a strike. As the volume of business increases, these costs are spread over a larger amount of production, reducing the average cost of each and contributing to economies of scale.
