What is Variable Cost?

What is Variable Cost?

  • Variable cost is a cost of production that depends on the quantity produced. 

How Do I  Remember It?

  • Think of the variable cost as “production-dependent cost.” It’s like a cost that varies depending on how much you produce.

Real World Example

  • For example, in a manufacturing company, the cost of raw materials is a variable cost because it increases as the company produces more goods. Similarly, the cost of labor may be considered a variable cost if workers are paid based on the number of hours worked or units produced.
