    Explanation:

    Letts Corporation Manufacturers

    Fixed element per month Variable element per unit

    Revenue - $ 30.40

    Direct labor $ 0 $ 6.10

    Direct materials 0 8.70

    Manufacturing overhead 46,700 1.80

    Selling & admin. expenses 27,800 0.20

    Total expenses $ 74,500 $ 16.80

    We multiply the variable cost per unit with the planned number of units to get the variable budgeted cost. Fixed cost will however remain unchanged.

    Cost = Fixed Cost + Variable Cost per unit * No Of units

    Fixed Selling and administrative expenses $ 27,800

    Variable Selling and administrative expenses 0.20*7000 = $ 1400

    Total Selling and administrative expenses $29200
