fixed

Explanation:

Fixed costs are costs that do not vary with output. e,g, rent, mortgage payments

If production is zero or if production is a million, Mortgage payments do not change - it remains the same no matter the level of output.

the total band cost changes per concert and not per number of people attending the concert. Thus, the total band cost is constant per constant. It is fixed at $80,000 per concert regardless of the number of people at the concert

cost per person = total cost / concert attendance

$80,000 / 2,000 = $40

$80,000 / 3000 = $26.67

$80,000 / 3500 = $22.86

$80,000 / 4000 = $20

no u can still get a job there u just have to be determined.
