Identifying Segment Costs By definition, variable costs are “caused” by some sort of activity or volume. If that activity or volume is related to a particular segment, then so is the variable cost. Fixed costs are more difficult to trace.
Identifying Segment Costs Fixed costs that arise to support a single segment are called direct (or traceable) fixed costs. Fixed costs that are related to more than one segment are common (or indirect) fixed costs.
