Case scenario:
Gypsy Joe's operates a chain of coffee shops. The company pays rent of $10,000 per year for each shop. Supplies (napkins, bags, and condiments) are purchased as needed. The mangers of each shop are paid a salary of $2,500 per month and all other employees are paid on an hourly basis. The costs of supplies relative to the number of customers in a particular shop and relative to the number of customers in the entire chain of shops is which kind of cost, respectively?
With the data provided, I'm trying to figure out what category of cost the problem above would best fall under.
Variable cost/fixed cost, Fixed cost/fixed cost, variable costs/fixed costs, or variable costs/variable costs.
