Answer:
Fixed cost in an organization does not change and is fixed while the variable cost keep changing if the production is increased.
Explanation:
Fixed cost are said to be that cost which does not change with production level for a certain limit. Let us suppose there is no change in the rent amount if we have only factory for the production of goods.
But the variable cost are those cost which increases as production increases. More will be the variable cost when the production will be more. Also for per unit basis, the variable cost remains the same.
Fixed cost are not important in decision making if there is an excess of capacity available.
For example,
Direct labor, direct material -- variable cost
Salary of supervisor, rent of factory -- fixed cost
Even though there is not much change in the variable cost, like for suppose material price increases, a company can still make a budget that is based on the past experience and predicting the market prices. Similarly, if there is a machine that uses three units of direct material for a piece if finished product, which is not going to change in the future. Thus the company can make a budget.

Explanation:
The price the stock would be sold at the end of the three-year holding period can be computed using excel FV formula stated below:
=fv(rate,nper,pmt,-pv)
rate is the semiannual cost of capital i.e 14%/2=7%
nper is the number of dividend payments over three-year period which is 6
pmt is the amount of semiannual dividend payment
pv is the current stock price
=fv(7%,6,1.1,-22)=$25.15
