Fixed Costs
When an item of
expenditure remains the
same regardless of the
increases or decreases in
the level of activity, we refer
to this as a fixed cost. For
example, placing an
advertisement in the Hilltop
as part of a marketing
campaign for the QBA
course would represent a
fixed cost.

Variable Costs
Variable costs increase or
decrease in proportion to
increases or decreases in
the level of productive
activity.
The graph shows that the
variable costs of providing
study materials for this
course change in a linear
(straight line) fashion.

Variable Costs
Semi-variable costs
behave like fixed costs
within a particular range
or level of activity. Once
that range is exceeded,
then the amount spent will
rise in a step-by-step
fashion.
