Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

                                               Desk                      Chairs         Total

Sales                                       187,500                40,000       227,500

Fixed sales /fixed sales unit  

Desk    

180000/144  = 1250

150 units = 1250*150                  

Chair

36,000/72= 500

80 units 500*80 =40,000

Variable expenses            112,500

Desk

Budgeted variable expenses /Budgeted units

108,000/144 = 750

150 units = 750*150=          112,500                       20,000      132,500

Chairs

18000/72 =250

250*80=20,000
