Garcia Veterinary Clinic expects the following operating results next year:
Sales (total) $600,000
Variable expenses (total)
375000
To calculate the variable expenses, we need more information. Variable expenses typically include costs that change in direct proportion to the level of sales or production. Some common examples of variable expenses include cost of goods sold, direct labor, and direct materials.
If you provide the breakdown of the variable expenses or the percentage of sales that these expenses represent, I can help you calculate the exact amount.
To calculate the variable expenses, we need to know the Variable Expense Ratio. The Variable Expense Ratio is the ratio of variable expenses to sales. It represents the proportion of sales that is used to cover variable expenses.
Variable Expense Ratio = Variable expenses / Sales
However, since we don't have information about the Variable Expense Ratio, it is not possible to calculate the variable expenses. Without knowing the Variable Expense Ratio or having more specific information, we cannot determine the exact amount of variable expenses for Garcia Veterinary Clinic next year.
