What is the name given to costs which do not vary as activity levels in a business increase or de-crease?

This question reminds me of a practice test where we discussed how fixed costs remain constant. I’m pretty confident it’s fixed costs.

I’m a bit confused. I thought indirect costs were also fixed, but now I’m leaning towards option D.

I remember studying variable costs, but they fluctuate with activity. Fixed costs seem to fit better for this question.

I think the answer might be fixed costs, but I’m not entirely sure. It’s the one that doesn’t change with production levels, right?

The key here is that the costs don't vary with changes in activity levels. That points to fixed costs as the answer. I feel pretty confident about this one.

I'm a bit confused on the wording of the question. Can someone clarify what they mean by "activity levels" in a business? I want to make sure I'm interpreting that correctly.

Haha, I bet the person who wrote this question is a real comedian. They must have been thinking, 'Let's see if they can figure out the difference between fixed and variable costs!' Well, I'm ready for the punchline - D) Fixed costs.
