Ok, the firm has a bad month and makes no sales. But the fixed costs are
still clicking up. It might seem that the firm makes a operating loss
equalling the fixed costs for the month plus the wage-bill.

I do not agree. The operating loss is just the wage-bill. No value could
be transferred because there are no sold commodities to transfer it too.
The fixed costs must be assigned to earlier or later periods.
