Cost Behavior Patterns
Costs respond to changes in volume or activity. Good business decisions are made by using cost behavior to analyze alternative courses of action. Some costs vary with changes in volume or activity (variable costs), some remain fixed as volume or activity changes (fixed costs), and others exhibit characteristics of both variable and fixed costs (mixed costs).
