Answer:

D. $5

Explanation:

Accountants calculate only explicit costs, or costs that are directly attributed to the process. (This is different than how an economist would calculate costs, because economists would also include the implicit costs such as the opportunity cost of the wages Walter could be earning at the store if he wasn't making bird houses).
