MM Co. predicts sales of $40,000 for May. MM Co. pays a sales
manager a monthly salary of $3,300 plus a commission of 7% of sales
dollars. MM’s production manager recently found a way to reduce the
amount of packaging MM uses. As a result, MM’s product will receive
better placement on store shelves and thus May sales are predicted
to increase by 9%. In addition, MM’s shipping costs are predicted
to decrease from 5% of sales to 4% of sales.
Compute (1) budgeted sales and (2) budgeted selling expenses for
May assuming MM switches to this more sustainable
packaging.
