        Expensed Period Costs under Variable Costing
       
                  
        I'm not sure how to expense period costs for the month under variable costing.
 I know that under variable costing, period costs would be: fixed manufacturing overhead + variable selling and administration + fixed selling and administration.
 
 but how can I calculate a months worth of expense with the data I've been given?
 
 Units:
 Beginning Invetory: 0
 Sold: 800
 Produced: 1,100
 Ending Inventory: 300
 
 Variable Costs per Unit:
 Variable Selling and Administration: $48
 
 Fixed Costs:
 Fixed Manufacturing Overhead: $39,600
 Fixed Selling and Administration: $7,200
 
 
 what I've come up with so far is that you take units sold and multiply it by variable selling and administration plus all the fixed cost. Is that right?
