     Manufacturing:

        Variable selling and administrative $ 5   
  Fixed costs per year:

     Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 840,000   
     Fixed selling and administrative expenses $ 330,000  


The company sold 27,000 units in the East region and 10,000 units in the West region. It determined that $160,000 of its fixed selling and administrative expenses is traceable to the West region, $110,000 is traceable to the East region, and the remaining $60,000 is a common fixed cost.

The company will continue to incur the total amount of its fixed manufacturing overhead costs as long as it continues to produce any amount of its only product.
