Explanation:

Giving the following information:

1st Quarter= 24,000 units

2nd Quarter= 25,000

3rd Quarter= 21,000

4th Quarter= 22,000

The company's variable selling and administrative expense per unit is $2.30.

Fixed selling and administrative expenses include advertising expenses of $9,000 per quarter, executive salaries of $44,000 per quarter. Also, the company will make insurance payments of $4,000 in the first quarter and $4,000 in the third quarter. Finally, property taxes of $8,600 will be paid in the second quarter.

We will assume that insurance and taxes are for offices and properties of the selling and administrative department.

1st quarter:

Variable cost= 2.3*24,000= 55,200

Fixed expense= 9,000 + 44,000= 53,000

Insurance= 4,000

Total= $112,200

2nd quarter:

Variable cost= 2.3*25,000= 57,500

Fixed expense= 9,000 + 44,000= 53,000

Property taxes= 8,600

Total= $71,400

3rd quarter:

Variable cost= 2.3*21,000= 48,300

Fixed expense= 9,000 + 44,000= 53,000

Insurance= 4,000

Total= $105,300

4th quarter:

Variable cost= 2.3*22,000= 50,600

Fixed expense= 9,000 + 44,000= 53,000

Total= $103,600

Total cost= $392,500
