What is Variable Direct Cost?

Variable direct cost refers to costs that are directly tied to the production of goods or services and fluctuate based on the level of production or activity. These costs increase as production volume increases and decrease as production decreases. Examples include raw materials, labor costs for hourly workers, and manufacturing supplies. Unlike fixed costs, variable direct costs change in direct proportion to production output.
