Answer 1

Answer:

Product and mass customization.

Explanation:

In Financial accounting, fixed cost can be defined as predetermined expenses in a business that remain constant for a specific period of time regardless of the quantity of production or level of outputs. Some examples of fixed costs in business are loan payments, employee salary, depreciation, rent, insurance, lease, utilities etc.

On the other hand, variable costs can be defined as expenses that are not constant and as such usually change directly and are proportional to various changes in business activities. Some examples of variable costs are taxes, direct labor, sales commissions, raw materials, operational expenses etc.

High fixed costs and low variable costs are typical of product and mass customization.

Hence, the high fixed costs are usually a determinant for pricing a product that aren't produced in mass because to break even, businesses would need to rake in more revenues to meet the the increasing (high) fixed costs.

However, when this products are manufactured in mass, this would help to cut or lower down the total cost of production.
