Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The calico fabric used to make Kristen's dress is a variable cost because it varies with the number of dolls produced. Other variable costs in producing the dolls could include the cost of materials for accessories such as the wooden bed and trunk, as well as packaging and shipping costs which would vary based on the location and quantity of orders. The doll itself could be considered a fixed cost as the cost of producing the mold and design would likely remain constant regardless of the number of dolls produced. Markup cost would be included in the final price of each product, but it is not a cost associated with producing the dolls and accessories. Elastic cost is not a relevant term in this context.
