Problem:
Poriss Corporation makes and sells a single product called a Yute. The company is in the process of preparing its Selling and Administrative Expense Budget for the last quarter of the year. The following budget data are available:
Variable Cost Per Yute Sold Monthly Fixed Cost
Sales commissions 2.10
Shipping 3.90
Advertising 7.40 34,000
Executive salaries 198,000
Depreciation on office equipment 10,000
Other 0.60 38,000
All of these expenses (except depreciation) are paid in cash in the month they are incurred.
If the company has budgeted to sell 16,000 Yutes in December, then the budgeted total cash disbursements for selling and administrative expenses for December would be:
224,000
280,000
504,000
494,000
