Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. If it weren’t for how much it costs
  2. how big it is

are the two component premises in this sentence. A premise is another way of saying reason. The component part comes from the fact that it is one of the reasons (if there are more than 1) for doing or not doing something.
