How much is Windathon’s selling expense budget for June?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Here the variable cost can be computed using the following formula:

Variable cost = (Sales commissions  + Shipping expense + Miscellaneous selling expenses) ×Sales

Variable cost = (4% + 1% + 3/4%) x $500,000 = $28,750

Fixed cost = Sales manager's salary + Advertising expense + Miscellaneous selling expenses

= $30,000 + $25,000 + $2,100

= $57,100

Total selling expense budget = Variable cost + Fixed cost

= $28,750 + $57,100

= $85,850
