Describe Committed fixed costs

Committed fixed costs are those fixed costs that arise from the possession of

1. Plant, building and equipment (for example, depreciation, rent, taxes, insurance premium etc.) or

2. A basic organization (for example salaries of staff). These costs remain unaffected by any short term changes in the volume of production. Any reduction in committed fixed costs under normal activities of the concern would have adverse on the concern’s long term objectives. Such costs cannot be controlled.
