Answer to Question 1

The two parts are the total fixed cost (TFC) and the total variable cost (TVC). TFC is the cost that does not vary as output varies. Examples include rent on a building or interest on a business loan. TVC is the cost that varies as output varies. Examples include a firm's payroll for labor or payments for raw materials.
