Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are primarily two types of costs, i.e. variable costs and fixed costs. The variable cost is the cost that varies when the level of production changes, whereas the fixed cost is the cost that remains constant, whether the level of production changes or not.

Therefore, indirect material indirect labor, and factory supplies are included in the variable costs, and the fixed costs include supervision taxes and depreciation expenses.

The mixed cost is a mix combination of both the variable cost and the fixed cost which includes some components of fixed cost and some components of variable cost. It is also known as semi-variable cost

Example - transportation cost, tel communication cost, etc
