Choice B, "direct cost," is the best description of the cost of the black paint used to paint the dots on the dice. It is a cost directly related to the production of the dice and can be easily traced to the final product. The other choices do not accurately describe the cost of the black paint. "Indirect cost" (Choice A) refers to a cost that cannot be directly traced to the production of the dice, such as rent or administrative expenses. "Fixed cost" (Choice C) refers to a cost that remains the same regardless of the volume of production, such as rent or salaries. "Variable cost" (Choice D) refers to a cost that varies with the volume of production, such as raw materials or labor.
