A$62,300
B$147,100
C$132,900
D$157,400
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. $147,100
1. The selling and administrative cost budget lists operating expenses line by line and totals them.
2. Selling expenses total $42,400 and administrative expenses total $104,700.
3. The combined total is $42,400 plus $104,700, which is $147,100.
4. That total is deducted from gross profit on the budgeted income statement.
5. $62,300 is the difference between the two subtotals rather than their sum.
