A compact disc (CD), in the context of business costs, is generally considered a variable cost. This is because the cost of producing, purchasing, or distributing CDs can change based on the volume of production or sales. If a company produces more CDs, the cost will increase with more materials and labor. Conversely, if fewer CDs are produced, the costs will decrease.
In contrast, fixed costs are those that do not change with the level of production or sales, such as rent or salaries.
However, if you are considering the cost of a specific CD in terms of personal use, it could be viewed as a fixed expense for that individual purchase, but in general business terms, it is categorized as variable.
