 Notes:

  1. Expected selling expenses for each motorcycle are 4% of the expected selling price. 
  2. A quarter of the conversion costs are related to materials, but 16% of the cost of materials used in the conversions are considered to be abnormal wastage, due to a poor quality type of material that has been used.
