Instructions are listed below

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Q=1000

Sales= $ 315,000

Beginning merchandise inventory= $21,000

Purchases= $210,000

Ending merchandise inventory= $10,500

Fixed selling expense= $ ?

Fixed administrative expense= $12,600

Variable selling expense= $15,750

Variable administrative expense= $ ?

Contribution margin= $63,000

Net operating income= $18,900

First, we have to calculate the variable administrative expense:

Contribution margin= sales - cost of goods sold - variable selling expense - variable administrative expense

63000= 315000 - (beginning inventory + purchase - ending inventory) - 15750 - variable administrative expense

variable administrative expense= 315000 - (21000+210000-10500)-15750-63000

variable administrative expense= $15750

Now, we can calculate the fixed selling expense:

Net operating income= contribution margin - fixed selling expense - fixed administrative expense

18900= 63000 - fixed selling expense - 12600

fixed selling expense= 63000-12600-18900

fixed selling expense= 31500

A)Sales= 315,000

Variable costs:

Cost of good sold= 220,500

Variable selling expense= 15,750

Variable administrative expense= 15,750

Total variable cost= 252,000

Contribution margin=$63000

Fixed costs:

Fixed selling expense= 31,500

Fixed administrative expense= 12,600

Total fixed cost= $44,100

Net profit= $18,900

B) Revenue= 315,000

COGS= 220,500 (-)

Gross porfit= 94500

Selling expense= (15750+31500)= 47,250

Administrative expense= (15750+12600)= 28,350

EBITDA= 18,900

C) Selling price per unit= 315,000/1000= $315

D) Variable cost per unit= total variable cost/q= 252000/1000= $252

E) Contribution margin per unit= 63000/1000= $63

F) The contribution format income statement, because you can easily analyze the effect of each unit in the cost structure and net income.

b is the correct answer
