Hi,

Please find the detailed answer as follows:

Part A:

Budgeted Selling Expenses = Fixed Sales and Administration Salaries + Variable Sales and Administration Expenses + Advertising + Miscellaneous Selling Expenses + Lease on Sales Building + Frieght Out + Depreciation on Administrative Equipment = 40000 + 2%*20000*16 + 12000 + 5000 + 45000 + 20000*.25 + 10000 = 123400

Option A (123400) is the correct answer.

Part B:

Expected Cash Outflow = = Fixed Sales and Administration Salaries + Variable Sales and Administration Expenses + Advertising + Miscellaneous Selling Expenses + Lease on Sales Building + Frieght Out = 40000 + 2%*20000*16 + 12000 + 5000 + 45000 + 20000*.25 = 113400

Option B (113400) is the correct answer.
