Explanation / Answer

Calculation of salaries that are common fixed expenses:

Salaries of on-site supervisor and salaried estimator are traceable to each department separately and hence these are not common fixed expenses.

But Salaries of office administrative assistants (52000+38000) and president's salary (156000) are Common fixed expense.

Hence Total Common fixed expense = 52000+38000+156000= $246000
