The simple answer is, you divide the total variable cost by the number of units. but you probably mean how to find the variable cost component. If that is your question, there are several ways, but the most reliable is to run a linear regression through the total cost of several periods. The fixed cost is the intercept of the regression line through zero, and the variable cost is the slope of the line. This assumes that the costs are more or less linear. There is also a high-low method, running a line through the highest and lowest total cost, but it is not as accurate as regression.", "3.

The mitral valve is located in the heart between the left ventricle and the left atrium, two of the heart's four chambers.
