On average, a book sells for $50. Variable selling expenses are $4 per book with the remaining selling expenses being fixed. The variable administrative expenses are 3% of sales with the remainder being fixed.

The cost formula for selling and administrative expenses with "X" equal to the number of books sold is:

Multiple Choice

• Y = $112,500 + $4.00X

• Y = $112,500 + $5.50X

• Y = $111,500 + $5.50X

• Y = $111,500 + $7.00X

Answer 1

Part 1) OPTION B----$12.10

Calculation of Incremental Manufacturing cost per unit

Direct Material 7.3

Direct Labor 3.45

Variable Mfg O/H 1.35

Total Incremental Manufacturing cost per unit = $12.10

Part 2) OPTION C------- Y = 111500 + $5.50X

No of units sold = 950000/50 = 19000 units

Total Selling expenses = 104000

Variable selling expenses= 19000 *4 = 76000

Fixed Selling expenses= 104000 -76000= 28000

Total administration expenses= 112000

Variable administration expenses= 950000*3% = 28500

Fixed Administration expenses= 112000 -28500= 83500

Total Fixed Selling and Administration expenses= 28000 +83500= 111500

Variable will be =4% selling + 50*3% administration

Variable will be = 5.5% of units sold

Hence, Formula will be Y = 111500 + $5.50X
