Calories in Tea. Tea comes from the Camellia sinensis plant. Even though you'll see many varieties of tea on store shelves, there are only four major categories of tea: white tea, green tea, oolong tea and black tea. The difference between each type is the degree to which each type of leaf is oxidized or fermented.
Mixed or semi-variable cost: A cost that has the characteristics of both variable and fixed cost is called mixed or semi-variable cost. For example, the rental charges of a machine might include $500 per month plus $5 per hour of use. The $500 per month is a fixed cost and $5 per hour is a variable cost.
The accounts classification model always assumes that there is only one right answer to these questions. That is, rent is always classified as a fixed cost, raw materials as a variable cost and telephone expenses as a semi-variable cost. Further class based work could explore the validity of this assumption.
