ZIA Motors is a small automobile manufacturer. Chris Rickard, the company’s president, is currently evaluating the company’s performance and is considering options that might be effective at increasing ZIA’s profitability. The company’s controller, Holly Smith, has prepared the following cost and expense estimates for next year based on a sales forecast of $3,000,000.

Direct materials ..........$ 800,000

Direct labor .............700,000

Factory overhead ..........750,000

Selling expenses ...........300,000

Other administrative expenses ..... 100,000

$ 2,650,000

After Chris received and reviewed the cost and expense estimates, he realized that Holly had given him all the data without breaking it out into its fixed and variable components. He called her and she told him the following: “Factory overhead and selling expenses are 40 percent variable, but other administrative expenses are 30 percent variables.”
