C OST BEHAVIOR  Costs can be variable, fixed or semi variable.  Variable costs are costs that vary in direct proportion to change in the cost drive (units or machine hours). Direct labor is a good example only if workers are paid by piece.  Fixed costs are costs that that remain the same despite change in the cost drive e.g. Depreciation, rent and insurance.

 Fixed costs are committed in the sense that management can not change them or they can be discretionary because management uses its professional judgment to decide on the amount of cost.  Semi-variable costs are costs that behave partly as fixed and partly as variable. e.g. indirect labor costs and indirect material.
