Commission per call is 10% of dollar sales (additional variable cost). We expect other variable costs to be 45% of revenue. Fixed costs is at $411,500 per month. This month we expected 180 hours of telephone calling time for each of the 40 employees. We had $2,700,000 in revenues. Marketing and administrative cost data for the month are on the table below.
