The '''unseen''' refers to what is not subject to direct observation by any of the five senses.<ref>''See, e.g.'', 2 Corinthians 4:18 (NIV) ("So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.")</ref>

[[Love]] is an example of something important that is unseen. [[Intelligence]] is another example. Additional examples include:

* [[opportunity cost]]
* ideas
* the medical harm from [[gambling]] and [[pornography]]
* [[Newtonian]] action-at-a-distance
* the [[invisible hand]]
* Atomic [[Radiation]]
* [[prayer]] and its effects
* the nature of [[homing]] powers of fowl
* deterrence of crime by self-defense<ref>See [[gun control]].</ref>
* [[Evil]]
*The intelligence of Liberals.

[[Materialists]], by focusing on only what is material, generally deny the existence of the unseen.

Variable costs

LikeLike:

'''Variable costs''' are [[expense]]s that vary directly with the size of a firm's output. As output increases over the range of [[production]], the variable costs increase. Variable costs include raw materials, labor, fuel, and wear and tear on equipment. Costs which do not change with the size of a firm's output are [[fixed costs]].

Combined with fixed costs, variable costs make up the total cost of production.

This needs to be lower than the total income or the company will not make money.
