Analyzing Cost Behavior During a Production Halt

A car manufacturing company incurs a cost of $14,400 for materials and labor for each car it builds. The company is considering a temporary production shutdown for one month. During this shutdown, it will produce zero cars but will still incur costs for its factory lease and insurance. Analyze the company's cost structure in this scenario. Specifically, explain what will happen to the company's total monthly costs related to car production (materials and labor) during the shutdown, and justify your reasoning based on the nature of these costs.
