Answer 1

Answer: $10

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to calculate the total budgeted selling and administrative expenses for March which will be:

Advertising = $50,000

Add: Executive salaries = $60,000

Add: Depreciation on office equipment = $20,000

Add: Other = $40,000

Total = $170,000

Since the company has budgeted to sell 17,000 Debs in March, then the average budgeted selling and administrative expenses per unit sold for March is:

= $170000 / 17000

= $10
