Answer:
The correct answer is letter "B": straight-line depreciation on factory equipment.
Explanation:
Manufacturing companies may have fixed costs, variable costs, and mixed costs. Fixed costs are those whose total cost does not vary when the volume of production changes. Variable costs are those that fluctuate in line with shifts in rates of output. Mixed costs are a mix of fixed and variables costs.
Therefore, straight-line depreciation on factory equipment is not an example of variable costs since it is a fixed cost.
