Answer

B (hourly workers) is a variable cost, since hours worked rise with production volume.

  • Option C (packaging/shipping costs) is variable, as it increases with the number of cards shipped.
  • Option D (paper cutting machine) is a fixed cost: it is a one-time or periodic expense that does not depend on how many cards are produced or sold.
