The following budget data are available: Variable Cost Per Yute Sold Monthly Fixed Cost Sales commissions $ 5.90 Shipping $ 5.30 Advertising $ 8.90 $ 32,000 Executive salaries $ 178,000 Depreciation on office equipment $ 7,000 Other $ 0.60 $ 20,000 All of these expenses (except depreciation) are paid in cash in the month they are incurred. If the company has budgeted to sell 14,000 Yutes in November, then the total budgeted selling and administrative expenses for November would be:

Answer 1

Answer:

$519,800

Explanation:

Variable cost per unit = $5.90 + $5.30 + $8.90 + $0.60

Variable cost per uni= $20.70

Fixed cost total = $32,000 + $178,000 + $7,000 + $20,000

Fixed cost total = $237,000

Cash disbursements for December = (Variable selling and administrative cost per unit*Number of unit (Yutes) sold) + (Fixed manufacturing overhead less depreciation)

= (14,000 * $20.70) + ($237,000 − $7,000)

= $289800 + $230,000

= $519,800
