Question

Zhang Industries sells a product for $700 per unit. Unit sales for May were 700 and each month's unit sales are expected to grow by 3%. Zhang pays a sales manager a monthly salary of $4,500 and a commission of 2% of sales. Compute the budgeted selling expense for the manager for the month ended June 30.

Answer 1

Answer: $14594

Explanation:

The budgeted selling expense for the manager for the month ended June 30 will be calculated thus:

The unit sales for June will be:

= [700 × (1 + 3%)]

= 700 × (1 + 0.03)

= 700 × 1.03

= 721 units

Commission will be:

= 2% × (721 × 700)

= $10,094

Therefore, the selling expenses to be reported will be:

= $10,094 + $4500

= $14594
