2. Assume the cost object is the Manufacturing Department and that its total output is 32,500 units.

a. How much total manufacturing cost is directly traceable to the Manufacturing Department?

b. How much total manufacturing cost is an indirect cost that cannot be easily traced to the Manufacturing Department?

3. Assume the cost object is the company’s various sales representatives. Furthermore, assume that the company spent $146,250 of its total fixed selling expense on advertising and the remainder of the total fixed selling expense comprised the fixed portion of the company's sales representatives’ compensation.
