Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fixed costs are costs that do not change when sales or production volumes increase or decrease. This is because they are not directly associated with manufacturing a product or delivering a service. As a result, fixed costs are considered to be indirect costs.

Detailed explanation-2: -A fixed cost is a cost that remains constant; it does not change with the output level of goods and services. It is an operating expense of a business, but it is independent of business activity. An example of fixed cost is a rent payment.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fixed cost refers to the cost of a business expense that doesn’t change even with an increase or decrease in the number of goods and services produced or sold.

Detailed explanation-4: -Examples of fixed costs are rent and lease costs, salaries, utility bills, insurance, and loan repayments. Some kinds of taxes, like business licenses, are also fixed costs. Since you have to pay fixed costs regardless of how much you sell, you should be careful about adding fixed costs to your small business.
