    Fixed cost is fixed in short term. In long term it is variable.
    Can you explain it too.

    A classic fixed cost is rent. Usually this is set in the terms of a lease, let’s say for a year.

    Rent cannot be altered in a year (short term), but after a year the lease could be abandoned or changed (so in the longer term, the rent can be varied).
