The two types of variable expenses are:
Cost of Goods Sold (COGS). For manufacturing and merchandising (retailing and wholesaling) businesses, the variable expense that is associated with each unit of sale is called the cost of goods sold.
Other Variable Expenses. These can include such expenses as commissions for salespeople, shipping and handling charges, or packaging.

The most common ways to gain an economy of scale are:
