Expert Solution
Calculation of variable and fixed elements of each item
Particulars in millions
  Total (A) Fixed (B) Variable (C = A - B)
Cost of goods sold $18240 $4680 $13560
Selling, administrative and other expenses $1930 $1060 $870
Beginning inventory $2550 30% * $2550 = $765 $1785
Ending inventory $2980 30% * $2980 = $894 $2086
Cost of goods manufactured =
Cost of goods sold + Ending inventory
- Beginning inventory
$18240 + $2980 - $2550
= $18670
$4680 + $894 - $765 = $4809 $13560 + $2086 - $1785 = $13861
