Monthly selling and administrative expenses are budgeted as follows: salaries and wages, $6,500 per month; shipping, 6% of sales; advertising, $5,000 per month; other expenses, 4% of sales. Depreciation, including depreciation on new assets acquired during the quarter, will be $3,000 for the quarter. |
