Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Take your total cost of production and subtract your variable costs multiplied by the number of units you produced. This will give you your total fixed cost.

Detailed explanation-2: -In some cases, businesses only list their total costs and variable costs per unit. You can use this information to determine your fixed costs with the formula: Fixed Cost = Total Cost – (Variable Cost Per Unit * Units Produced).

Detailed explanation-3: -Fixed costs tend to be costs that are based on time rather than the quantity produced or sold by your business. 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.

Detailed explanation-4: -To find your company’s fixed costs, review your budget or income statement. Look for expenses that don’t change, regardless of your business’ quantity of output. Any costs that would remain constant, even if have zero business activity, are fixed costs.
