    Dear John Sir,

    i was getting a little intuitive and just thinking about a cost card where we have variable overheads and fixed overheads.

    I just thought upon possibility of case of a Fixed Direct expense. Is it possible in real life situation that we have a Fixed Direct expense OR it is absolutely impossible and all Direct expenses are necessarily Variable.

    i understand that Direct expenses are expenses which can be directly linked to a cost unit and hence this query ..

    Thanks
    Amit

    Direct expenses can not be a fixed cost – they are always variable (because they are measurable for each unit, it follows that more units means more total cost).
