C : $27,000

Explanation:

Mainly there are two types of cost i. e variable cost and the fixed cost. The variable cost is that cost which is change when the production level change whereas the fixed cost is that cost which remains constant whether production level changes or not

So, the variable cost includes indirect material, indirect labor, and utilities

And, the fixed cost includes supervision and depreciation expense.

Now the fixed cost would be

= Supervision + depreciation expense

= $22,000 + $5,000

= $27,000
