Answer 1

Answer: C. Indirect and Fixed

Step-by-step explanation:

Depreciation is an indirect expenses because it does not have anything to do with the actual production of goods but rather only affects the equipment used in the assembly line.

It is also a fixed cost because it is being done using a straight-line method which makes depreciation a fixed amount for each of the total number of years it is to be depreciated.
