QUESTION

The problem is below, but here's my question: Where does direct materials fall under, Variable costs or Fixed Costs? Same for direct labor, Variable

The problem is below, but here's my question:

Where does direct materials fall under, Variable costs or Fixed Costs? 

Same for direct labor, Variable or fixed? 

I'm trying to find the answer for the contribution margin but I can't get the right answer because I think I'm placing these two costs in the wrong places. I thought the materials would go under fixed and labor under variable costs but it's wrong. Could it be that they both go under variable costs?
