Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Paper and ink are directly related to the volume of books being published. The more books that are published, the more paper and ink are required, leading to higher costs. Wages of editorial staff and accounts payable clerk's wages are not directly related to the volume of books being published, while rent on the factory may be a fixed cost that does not vary with volume.
