Solution

To calculate the total selling expenses for the quarter, we need to add up the salaries, commissions, and advertising costs for each month.

  1. Calculate the commission for each month:

    • January: 25,0001025,000 * 10% = 2,500
    • February: 30,0001030,000 * 10% = 3,000
    • March: 35,0001035,000 * 10% = 3,500
  2. Calculate the total salary for the quarter:

    • 5,000/month3months=5,000/month * 3 months = 15,000
  3. Calculate the total commission for the quarter:

    • 2,500(January)+2,500 (January) + 3,000 (February) + 3,500(March)=3,500 (March) = 9,000
  4. Calculate the total advertising cost for the quarter:

    • 600/month3months=600/month * 3 months = 1,800
  5. Add up all the costs to get the total selling expenses for the quarter:

    • 15,000(salaries)+15,000 (salaries) + 9,000 (commissions) + 1,800(advertising)=1,800 (advertising) = 25,800

So, the total selling expenses for the quarter will be $25,800.
