Fixed costs

Fixed costs do not directly change with units sold within a specified period and capacity range, such as contracted warehouse rent. Cost per item can fall when the same total is spread over more sales without reducing the total cost.[1]

State the period and relevant activity range. Expansion may require additional space or staff, stepping fixed costs upward. Existing rent does not make additional orders cost-free: packaging, payment and delivery may still add variable costs. Fixed does not mean permanently unchangeable.
