Exeter’s target is P10,000 per month and it expects to sell 6,000 Exeter’s target is P10,000 per month and it expects to sell 6,000 backpacks per month. Remember that Exeter’s variable costs backpacks per month. Remember that Exeter’s variable costs are P10.00 to purchase a backpack and P1.00 for packing and are P10.00 to purchase a backpack and P1.00 for packing and shipping and a 5% sales commission. Thus, per unit variable cost shipping and a 5% sales commission. Thus, per unit variable cost is P11.00 plus 5% of selling price. is P11.00 plus 5% of selling price.
