The budgeted fixed selling and administrative expense is $51,980 per month, which includes depreciation of $6,440 per month.

a. $45,540
b. $85,560
c. $79,120
d. $33,580

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Budgeted unit sales for August = 4,600 units

Variable selling and administrative expense per unit = $7.30 per unit

Budgeted fixed selling and administrative expense = $51,980

Depreciation per month = $6,440

Total variable selling and administrative expense:

= Budgeted unit sales for August × variable selling and administrative expense per unit

= 4,600 × $7.30

= $33,580

Total fixed selling and administrative expense:

= Budgeted fixed selling and administrative expense - Depreciation per month

= $51,980 - $6,440

= $45,540

Total cash disbursements for selling and administrative expenses:

= Total variable selling and administrative expense + Total fixed selling and administrative expense

= $33,580 + $45,540

= $79,120
