What are fixed and variable fees in practice?

Can you explain the difference between fixed and variable fees?

Sure! Fixed fees remain constant regardless of the service level, while variable fees change based on usage or service.

How do businesses decide which fee structure to use?

Are there any advantages to using variable fees?
