This document discusses different types of costs. Fixed costs, also called overhead costs, are costs that remain constant even if the quantity of output varies in the short run, such as rent and insurance. Variable costs are costs that vary with the quantity produced, such as materials and labor. Average cost is calculated as the total cost divided by the quantity produced and includes both fixed and variable costs.
