    Understanding the distinction among fixed, mixed, and variable costs among the team is clear and understandable. Fixed costs are costs within an organization that remain the same no matter what changes occur in activity levels. Examples of fixed costs are rent or insurance paid. Even though the number of units produced changes the costs remain the same. If a manufacturer rents the building in which they operate, the cost per unit produced would fluctuate. For example, if the rent is $500 and 500 units produced, the cost is $1 per unit. When 5,000 units produced, cost is $0.10 per unit. Fixed costs are a little confusing because the thought of how fixed cost could fluctuate, but the cost does not fluctuate. The portion of the cost fluctuates, depending on the number of units produced. The fewer units produced a higher proportion of costs distributed to each unit, and the more units produced, a smaller proportion of the costs distributed to each unit.…

    In economics, fixed costs are business expenses that are not dependent on the level of goods or services produced by the business. They tend to be time-related, such as salaries or rents being paid per month, and are often referred to as overhead costs. This is in contrast to variable costs, which are volume-related (and are paid per quantity produced). Variable costs are expenses that change in proportion to the activity of a business. Variable cost is the sum of marginal costs over all units produced. It can also be considered normal costs. Fixed costs and variable costs make up the two components of total cost. Urban Fashion will have fixed costs to pay their employee’s wages, rents and rates, insurance and advertisements which the same payment is paid out monthly. Also Urban Fashion will have variable costs which they cannot predict how much items will cost.…

In their letter to shareholders, Lowe’s said, “We know that providing great service is the driving force behind profitable sales and market share growth, and we feel our commitment to delivering great service has Lowe’s uniquely positioned to capitalize as the economy bottoms and home improvement demand improves.” After reading about all that each company reported about themselves we decided to see for ourselves. When we went to Home Depot and asked for help in a specific category the salesman pointed us in the right direction but did not help us out. He was not as helpful as he could have been. At Lowe’s one salesman helped us and showed us around the whole store. Therefore, we concluded that Lowe’s employees have a broader base of knowledge in all aspects while Home Depot hires past tradesmen who have knowledge in one specified area.…
