Salary expense was 15.5% of sales this year. If sales this year are $1,300,000 and are forecasted to be $1,500,000 next year, what is forecasted salary expense next year if all expenses maintain a constant percent of sales?

Salary expense next year=$232,500

Explanation:

The ratio of expense to ales is an important which  helps in the management and control overhead.

We can be  predict the Salary expense using the information given about the relationship between salary expense and sales .

If salary expense is 15.5% of sales, then Salary expense this year =

15.5% × 1,300,000=$201,500

Salary expense next year = 15.5% × foretasted sales next year

                                          =  15.5% × 1,500,000 = $232,500

We use 15.5% because the relationship between the expenses and the sales in proportion is expected to remain the same

Salary expense next year=$232,500

you can lose ranking 2 ways.

1) you don't have enough points due to you expending them by asking questions/your answers are deleted.

2) your brainliest's expired. this means that brainliests, once they exceed the 30 day limit, expires. this is to ensure that you continue to contribute into the community at a constant rank if you want to continue to have/exceed the rank you have right now.

if you go to profile, and click "show more information" located on the bottom left of the box with your information (on top of the questions answered, questions asked, and friends), you will be given the following information (example):

member since : 02/13/2017, 18: 11

questions answered: 9741

questions asked: 162

no. of brainliest answers: 1575

brainliest answers in last 30 days: 10

warnings: 0 view

questions/answers reported: 2637

questions/answers incorrectly reported: 64

look at the "brainliest answers in the last 30 days". this is the one that will affect your rank other than your points. again, once your brainliest expires (was earned 31+ days ago), it will not be counted.
