Best Answer

Fixed costs include all costs that are not subject to change for producing at a higher output. In this question the $200 spent to make the lemonade stand is a fixed cost because its cost does not change in relation to the number of cups sold. On the other hand, the cups represent variable cost, because for every cup sold there is an addition $0.50 charged to the stand, that is to say that cup costs depends on how many cups are produced and sold.

How much it cost to run a lemonade stand?

It doesn't cost anything to run a lemonade stand. Now, for supplies like paper cups, lemonade, and that sort of thing, it varies depending on what materials the stand is made out of, what store the lemonade and the paper cups were bought at, and so forth. Generally, it only costs under $10 (depending on where you buy the supplies) and a day's work, that is assuming the stand is made from things around the house, and not an actual wooden stand with all the fancy stuff. There are no finances because running a lemonade stand isn't actually a BUSINESS, but a fund raiser, which means that it costs below $10, give or take a couple dollars depending on where you buy the supplies.
