1. List the variable costs for one of your company's products or services, with a cost
estimate for each variable cost. If you have more than one product or service, choose
one of them.
For example, the variable costs for a company that makes t-shirts and ships them to
customers might look like this:
T-shirts--$6 each
Paint--about $1.25 per shirt
Labor--about $3 per shirt (because workers earn $9 per hour and can make 3 shirts per
hour, or because workers are paid by the shirt)
Shipping-$4 per shirt
