Timothy Donaghy has developed a unique formula for growing hair

Accounting Oct 29, 2020

Timothy Donaghy has developed a unique formula for growing hair. His proprietary lotion, used regularly for 45 days, will grow hair in bald spots (with varying degrees of success). Timothy calls his lotion Hair-Again and is selling it via the telephone and Internet. His major form of marketing is through 15 -minute infomercials and Internet advertising. Timothy sells each 16− ounce bottle of Hair-Again for $15 and pays a commission of 3 percent of sales to telephone operators who field the 1−800 phone calls from potential customers. Fixed marketing expenses for each quarter of the coming year include:

Internet banner ads $7,600
Telephone operator time 4,000
Travel 3,000

In addition, early next year Timothy intends to film and show infomercials on television. He expects the cost to be $10,000 in quarters 1 and 2, and that the cost will rise to $25,000 in each of quarters 3 and 4. Timothy expects the following unit sales of Hair-Again:

Quarter 1 5,000
Quarter 2 15,000
Quarter 3 40,000
Quarter 4 35,000

Required:

 

What if the cost of Internet ads rises to $15,000 in Quarters 2 through 4? How would that affect variable marketing expense? Fixed marketing expense? Total marketing expense?
