#### Cost Analysis ExerciseIn this exercise, you are provided with different cost descriptions and possible measures of activity. Your task is to determine whether each listed cost is mainly fixed or variable with respect to the given measure of activity. Indicate your choice by marking the respective column. Additionally, provide an explanation for why you classified each cost as fixed or variable.### Cost Description Table| Cost Description | Possible Measure of Activity ||--------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------|| 1. Salary of production manager at a surfboard manufacturer | Surfboards produced || 2. Cost of solder used in making computers | Computers produced || 3. Cost of dough used at a pizza shop | Pizzas cooked || 4. Janitorial wages at a surfboard manufacturer | Surfboards produced || 5. Salary of the controller at a hospital | Number of patients || 6. Cost of sales at an electronics store | Dollar sales || 7. Cost of testing materials used in a medical lab | Tests run || 8. Cost of heating an electronics store | Dollar sales || 9. Cost of electricity for production equipment at a surfboard manufacturer | Surfboards produced || 10. Depreciation on shelving at a bookstore | Dollar sales |### InstructionsFor each item above, indicate whether the cost is **MAINLY** fixed or variable with respect to the possible measure of activity listed. Mark your choice with an **X** in the provided table below.| # | Fixed | Variable | Comment ||----|-------|----------|---------------|| 1 | | | || 2 | | | || 3 | | | || 4 | | | || 5 | | | || 6 | | | || 7 | | | || 8 | | | || 9 | | | || 10 | | | |### Explanation1. **Salary of Production Manager at a Surfboard Manufacturer**: Typically, the salary of a production manager is a fixed cost as it does not change with the number of surfboards produced.2. **Cost of Solder ### Educational Resource: Cost Analysis Table#### Instructions:For each item listed, indicate whether the cost is **mainly fixed** or **variable** with respect to the possible measure of activity mentioned next to it. For each question, select either fixed or variable and mark with an "X".
