$7.10

Direct labor per unit

$4.10

Variable manufacturing overhead per unit

$1.60

Fixed manufacturing overhead per unit

$5.10

Total manufacturing cost per unit

$17.90

0

Explanation - All manufacturing costs are traceable.

3a. determination of the total direct selling expense that can be readily traced to individual sales representatives:

3b. determination of the total indirect selling expense that cannot be readily traced to individual sales representatives:

3a.

Sales commissions per unit

$1.10

Number of units sold

11,000

Total sales commissions

$12,100

Fixed portion of sales representative commission

$11,000

[(11,000 units x $3.60) - $28,600]

Total direct selling expense

$23,100

3b.

Total indirect sales expense

$28,600

(Advertising cost)

Total fixed sales expense = 11,000 units x $3.60 per unit = $39,600

Less: advertising expense included in fixed sales expense     $28,600

Hence, fixed portion of sales representative commission       $11,000

Add: Total variable sales commission = 11,000 x $1.10 =     $12,100

Total direct selling expense = $23,100
