Answer 1

(a) Delivery costs are mixed and utilities are variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mixed costs are costs that are fixed and variable, for example, delivery costs are mixed because of the fixed cost of having the delivery equipment, like trucks and cars, and the variable is the amount of gas that you pay for it, then utilities are variable because the problem doesn´t specify that they are not.
