The term fixed cost refers to a cost that does not change with an
increase or decrease in the number of goods or services produced or
sold. Fixed costs are expenses that have to be paid by a company,
independent of any specific business activities. This means fixed costs

aAn expense is the cost of operations that a company incurs to generate
revenue. As the popular saying goes, “it costs money to make money.”

their taxable income and thus their tax liability. However, the Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) has strict rules on which expenses businesses
are allowed to claim as a deduction.
