11ea7761_17c7_6d2b_81a5_a3b8eb5563d2_TB2580_00 Total selling and administrative expenses = Fixed selling and administrative expenses + (Variable selling and administrative expenses per unit × Units sold)
$518,520 = $237,000 + ($20.70 per unit × Units sold)
$20.70 per unit × Units sold = $518,520 - $237,000
$20.70 per unit × Units sold = $281,520
Units sold = $281,520 ÷ $20.70 per unit = 13,600 units
