Respuesta :

Answer:

Option (d) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Sales = $ 413,000

Cost of goods sold (all variable) = $ 169,100

Total variable selling expense = $ 20,700

Total fixed selling expense = $ 17,900

Total variable administrative expense = $ 13,100

Total fixed administrative expense = $ 30,400

Gross margin:

= Sales - Cost of goods sold

= $ 413,000 - $ 169,100

= $243,900
