The variable selling and administrative expense is $4.30 per unit. The budgeted fixed selling and administrative expense is $35,620 per month, which includes depreciation of $2,700 per month. The remainder of the fixed selling and administrative expense represents current cash flows. The cash disbursements for selling and administrative expenses on the March selling and administrative expense budget should be:

Answer 1

Answer:

The cash disbursements for S&A  should be: $40,660

Explanation:

Assuming all variable cost are paid in cash

$1,800 \: units \times 4.30 \: variable \: S&A = 7,740$

35,620 fixed S&A

- 2,700 depreciation (non-monetary)

32,920 Cash disbursement for fixed cost

$fixed \: disbursements + variable \: disbursements = total$

32,920 + 7,740= 40,660
