Variable cost
Variable costs ( T.V.C): These are expenses on factors of production which change with a change in the level of output i.e increase when output increases, and vice versa, variable cost can take several other names such as prime costs operating costs, direct costs, working capital or running costs.
Variable costs are expenses that change in proportion to the activity of a business. In other words, variable cost is the sum of marginal costs. Along with fixed costs, variable costs make up the two components of total cost. Direct Costs, however, are costs that can be associated with a particular cost object. Not all variable costs are direct costs, however; for example, variable manufacturing overhead costs are variable costs that are not a direct costs, but indirect costs.Variable costs are sometimes called unit-level costs as they vary with the number of units produced.
