Answer:

$9,000

Explanation:

Sunk costs are costs that cannot be recovered, and in this case, Denaro's rent and insurance expense are considered sunk costs because they are generally paid when the month is starting and they cannot be recovered or changed afterwards. Denaro can vary the other monthly costs, e.g. he can decide to shut down and not spend any more food or supplies.
