Gerald Friedman · Answer 1

The correct answer is letter "B": Choice D.

Explanation:

Fixed costs are business expenses that do not change when production levels increase or decrease. These are one of two types of business expenses and the other is variable costs. Variable costs change with increases or decreases in production volume. Then:

1) The wages paid to the taco makers and other employees - Variable Costs

2) Materials (e. g., cheeses, salsa, tomatoes, lettuce, taco shells, etc.) used to make the tacos - Variable Costs
