Let's say that the product is basic ibuprofen (Advil) pills. Since the product belongs to the pharmaceutical industry, it is required to have structured and often quality checks. Also, the product's structure or recipe can be easily changed by demanding guidelines (FDA). What's more, defects are very common if a certain substance goes over (or below) the required percent in the process.

Batch production is the best production method to use here, as it is basically production in groups (batches), where frequent control is provided. Also, in the case of a potential recall, it is easy to map the troublesome batch (due to the documentation, used materials and ingredients etc.).

Answer:

rent

Explanation:

The rent expense will be difficult to revise. Usually, the rent amount is contained in a tenancy agreement signed by both the landlord and the tenant. The rent amount does not change until the lease or tenancy agreement expires. Changing the rent amount would require the landlord's consent.

Due to the above reasons, rent is classified as a fixed cost. It remains constant in the short run.
