Assume that cost of goods sold is a variable cost and that operating expenses are a fixed cost. What is budgeted cost of goods sold

Answer 1

Answer:

Cost of goods sold = $576,900

Explanation:

The budgeted cost of goods sold will be the sales volume in 2020 multiplied by cost per unit .

Sales volume in year 2020= (100-10)% ×  sales figure for 2019

                                            = 90% × 160,250=  144,225  

Cost of goods sold per unit =  cost of goods sold in 2019/Sales units in 2019

                                              = 641,000/160250=$4

Cost of goods sold =  $4× 144,225 =  $576,900

Cost of goods sold = $576,900
