The character may vary as follows: 1. Some expenses (estimated at about one half of total) are fixed regardless of amount of business. 2. Some expenses vary directly hut not proportionately with the busmess. 3. Some expenses vary directly and pro^ portionately with the business.

Maintenance of equipment. 3. Traffic. 4. Transportation. 5. General.
