Question

Suppose Bev's Bags makes two kinds of handbags--large and small. Bev rents an industrial space where she keeps the fabric, the industrial sewing machine, her measuring board and cutting shears, extra needles, thread and buttons, and labels. If Bev were to produce no bags, what would her variable cost included?

Answer 1

Answer: Zero

Explanation: As per the subject matter of cost accounting and economics. Variable cost can be defined as the cost which changes its level with the level of output produced unlike fixed cost which remain constant at all levels.

Electricity bill, raw materials and packaging are some common examples of variable cost.

So from the above explanation we can conclude that if Bev produce no bags there variable cost would be zero.
