Answer 1

$86,950

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Selling and administrative expense:

= Variable selling and administrative expense + Fixed selling and administrative expense

= (Units sold in August × Variable selling and administrative expense per unit sold) + Fixed selling and administrative expense

= (11,300 × $1.50) + $70,000

= $16,950 + $70,000
