Answer 1

Total cash disbursement= $40,210

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

The sales budget shows 2,700 units are planned to be sold in March. The variable selling and administrative expense are $3.20 per unit.

The budgeted fixed selling and administrative expense are $35,770 per month, which includes depreciation of $4,200 per month.

The depreciation expense is not a cash disbursement.

Total cash disbursement= total variable cost + total fixed cost

Total cash disbursement= 2,700*3.2 + (35,770 - 4,200)

Total cash disbursement= $40,210
