3. On January 1, Colver Company has 6,500 units of Product A on hand. During the year, the company plans to sell 15,000 units of Product A, and plans to have 5,000 units on hand at year end. How many units of Product A must be produced during the year?

= 16,500

4. The selling and administrative expense budget of Ruffing Corporation is based on budgeted unit sales, which are 4,800 units for February. The variable selling and administrative expense is $8.10 per unit. The budgeted fixed selling and administrative expense is $71,520 per month, which includes depreciation of $16,800 per month.

A) $38,880
B) $54,720
C) $110,400
D) $93,600

Answer: D

Variable selling and administrative expense = $8.10 x 4,800 units = $38,880
Fixed expense (cash outflows) = $71,520 - $16,800 = $54,720

5. The basic idea behind responsibility accounting is that top management is responsible for preparing detailed budgets by which the performance of middle and lower management will be evaluated.
