In this exercise:

Revenues= 1107000

COGS= Beginnig inventory + purchase - ending inventory= 250000

Gross profit= $857000

Administrative expense= $17 *2700q+110000= 155900

Selling expense= $155,000 + 45*2700q= 276500

Variable costs:

Cost of goods sold= 250000

Variable Selling expense= $45*2700= 121500

Variable administration expense= 17*2700= 45900

Total variable costs= 417400

Contribution Margin= 689600

Fixed costs:

Selling expense= 155000

administration expense= 110000

Total fixed cost= 265000

Net profit= 424600
