Answer 1

$14,700

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to determine how much is the total budgeted variable selling and administrative expenses for October

Using this formula

Total budget variable selling and administrative =(Sales commissions+Shipping+Advertising+Other)*Budgeted umbrellas

Let plug in the formula

Total budget variable selling and administrative = ($0.60 + 1.20 + 0.30 + 0.35)*6,000

Total budget variable selling and administrative= $2.45*6,000

Total budget variable selling and administrative= $14,700

Therefore the total budgeted variable selling and administrative expenses for October is $14,700
