Per Unit Percent of Sales
Selling price
$ 180 100 %
Variable expenses

Fixed expenses are $1,048,000 per month. The company is currently selling 9400 units per month.
The marketing manager would like to introduce sales commissions as an incentive for the sales staff. The
marketing manager has proposed a commission of $12 per unit. In exchange, the sales staff would accept
an overall decrease in their salaries of $106,000 per month. The marketing manager predicts that
introducing this sales incentive would increase monthly sales by 440 units.
