I feel like office rental is definitely a fixed cost, but I'm confused about the course manager's salary—does that count as variable?

I practiced a similar question where we had to identify variable costs, and I think the hire of conference rooms could be variable if it depends on the number of courses.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think the lecturers' fees are fixed since they get paid a flat rate, right?

I remember variable costs are those that change with the level of output, so I think advertising might be one of them since it varies by course.

This is a tricky one, but I'm going with C, D, and F. The lecturers' fees and advertising costs make sense as variable costs, and the course manager's salary is a fixed cost. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!

Exactly! Variable costs change with the level of activity, while fixed costs remain constant. It's important to distinguish between the two for accurate cost analysis.

I agree with you. Those are the variable costs because they vary with the level of activity. The hire of conference rooms and office rental are fixed costs.
