Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

A. The paper and glue to make the cards B. Hourly workers who assemble and ship the cards C. Packaging and shipping costs D. A paper cutting machine

Fixed costs are costs that do not vary with output. e,g, rent, mortgage payments

If production is zero or if production is a million, Mortgage payments do not change - it remains the same no matter the level of output.

Hourly wage costs and payments for production inputs are variable costs

Variable costs are costs that vary with production

If a producer decides not to produce any output, there would be no need to hire labour and thus no need to pay hourly wages.
