Respuesta :

Answer:

Given:

Sales budget = 5,900 units

Variable selling and administrative expense = $11.20 per unit

Fixed selling and administrative expense = $131,570 per month

Depreciation = $16,520 per month

Therefore, we'll compute cash disbursements for selling and administrative expenses using the following formula:

Cash disbursements = Variable selling and administrative expense × Sales budget +  Fixed selling and administrative expense - Depreciation

Cash disbursements = $11.20 × 5,900 + $131,570 - $16,520

Cash disbursements = $181,130

Answer:

The correct amount of cash disbursement for the month of April is $181,130.

Explanation:

Formula for cash disbursement of selling and administrative expenses =

Sales budget in units X Variable selling and administrative expense per unit

                                   -

          Fixed selling and administrative expenses per month

                                   -

                     Depreciation per month

Given amounts -

Sales budget = 5900 units

Selling and administrative expense per unit = $11.20

Fixed selling and administrative expenses per month = $131,570

Depreciation per month = $16,520

Now putting all these values in the formula -

5900 x $11.20 + $131,570 - $16,520

= $66,080 + $115,050

= $181,130
