Cost can be either fixed cost or variable cost. Fixed costs are the costs that are fixed in nature and do not vary with the change in scale of production. Example of fixed costs are: factory rent. Variable costs vary with the change in scale of production. Example: Raw material cost Net Margin= Sales- Fixed cost- Variable cost Decrease in fixed costs lead to increase in margin of an organization; keeping all other things constant. Sometimes, benefit of decrease in fixed cost may be transferred to the consumer in the form of lower price. Lower price results in higher sales volume with lower sales margin per unit.
