Answer:
B)The cost of energy for a company can be both a fixed cost and a variable cost.
Explanation:
Energy is a fixed cost because it is an utility that companies have to pay regardless of the level of production; they need energy to function.
Energy is a variable cost because energy is an input to production, and the amount of energy used (and hence its cost) can vary a lot depending on how much output is produced. In the question, ethanol is referenced, which is also a type of variable cost, because it is an energy source that depends on another input (corn), and its used as a substitue for gasoline.

If anyone want's to purchase those bonds will have to pay this amount per bond.
The opposite to the ask price is the bid price, which is the price at which the dealer is willing to purchase bond (we sale it to the dealer).
