Respuesta :

Answer:

Yes it is an indirect cost

No it is not a fixed cost

Explanation:

An indirect cost is one that cannot be traced to the product. For example in this instance direct cost will be the cost of the jeans materials. So wages paid to the workers that cut the jeans patterns is an indirect cost in producing jeans.

A fixed cost is one that does not change during the production process. For example rent. The wages paid is not fixed but variable, as labour needed usually varies with business need.
