Soldner Health Care Products Inc. expects to maintain the same inventories at the end of 2010 as at the beginning of the year. The total of all production costs for the year is therefore assumed to be equal to the cost of goods sold. With this in mind, the various department heads were asked to submit estimates of the costs for their departments during 2010. A summary report of these estimates is as follows: x Estimated Estimated Variable Cost x Fixed Cost (per unit sold) __________________________________________________________ Production costs: Direct materials $0 $18.00 Direct labor 0 12.00 Factory overhead 318,000 9.00 Selling expenses: Sales salaries and commissions 65,500 4.00 Advertising 22,500 0.00 Travel 5,000 0.00 Miscellaneous selling expense 5,500 3.50 Administrative expenses: Office and officers' salaries 65,000 0.00 Supplies 8,000 1.50 Miscellaneous administrative expense 10,500 2.00 Total $500,000 $50.00 It is expected that 20,000 units will be sold at a price of $100 a unit. Maximum sales within the relevant range are 25,000 units.
