Final Answer : B, Explanation :  $27,792To find the total fixed costs, first calculate the total variable costs at the initial production level (11,200 units) by multiplying the variable cost per unit ($9.84) by the number of units (11,200), which equals $110,208. Subtract this from the total costs at that production level ($138,000) to find the fixed costs: $138,000 - $110,208 = $27,792. Fixed costs do not change with the level of production, so the total fixed costs remain $27,792 even if production increases to 14,000 units.
