The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Marta estimates that the fixed costs associated with opening her new hair salon are $100,000. She expects the salon to attract 500 new customers in the first year, each of which will cost $25 to service.

Total cost = total fixed costs + total variable cost

Total cost = 100,000 + 25*500 = 112,500
