Answer 1

Answer:

$ 111000

Explanation:

Period costs are not related to the "cost object" in this case sporting goods. They are more related to management or marketing rather than production, even though what ultimately makes a profitable business is its production quality.

I have not seen yet a business that markets an terrible product and benefits from it.

Therefore, X= it does not qualify as period cost

• Plastics used to make products  X

• Heating and lighting costs for factory X

• Factory janitor wages X

• Costs of shipping to customers 11000

• Lubricants used in factory equipment X

• Lighting costs for sales office 20000

• Depreciation on factory equipment X

• Office supplies for sales office 6000

• Insurance costs for factory X

• Maintenance worker wages X

• Freight in (on plastics) X

• Aluminum used to make products X

• Assembly line worker wages X

• Salaries of salespeople 74000

---------------------------------------------------------------

Let's place them together:

• Costs of shipping to customers 11000

• Lighting costs for sales office 20000

• Office supplies for sales office 6000

• Salaries of salespeople 74000

• Salaries of salespeople 74000
