    The correct answer is D.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Selling price = 19

    Variable cost per pack = 12

    At a current annual sales of 43,000 packs, the store earns $75,000 before taxes on course packs.

    First, we need to calculate the total variable cost.

    Total variable cost = 12*43,000 = 516,000

    Now, we can calculate the total contribution margin:

    Contribution margin = (19*43,000) - 516,000 = 301,000

    The earnings before taxes is the result of deducting from the contribution margin the fixed costs.

    Fixed costs = contribution margin - earnings before taxes

    Fixed costs = 301,000 - 75,000 = 226,000
