Could you please clarify for me what is not considered a fixed cost in the realm of finance and business operations? I understand that fixed costs are those expenses that remain constant and do not vary with changes in production or sales, but I'm curious about what types of expenses are not classified as such. Are variable costs, such as the cost of raw materials or labor that fluctuate with production levels, considered not fixed costs? Or are there other types of expenses that also fall outside of this category?

Could you please clarify what you mean by "average fixed cost"? Fixed costs are expenses that do not vary with the level of production or sales, such as rent, insurance, and salaries of permanent employees. They remain constant regardless of the volume of output. Are you asking about the average fixed cost per unit of production, or perhaps you're inquiring about the overall average fixed cost for a particular business or industry? If it's the former, the average fixed cost per unit decreases as production increases, as the fixed costs are spread over a larger number of units. However, if you're asking about the latter, the answer would depend on the specific business or industry being considered, as fixed costs can vary significantly between them.
