Definition
"Le coût variable" refers to expenses that change directly with the level of production or business activity, such as raw materials or labor costs. These costs increase or decrease depending on the quantity produced each month, unlike fixed costs which remain constant.
The term "le coût variable" comes from French, where "coût" means cost and "variable" means changeable or fluctuating. It reflects the idea that these expenses vary in relation to production volume. The expression has been widely adopted in economics and business contexts.
