After studying the costs incurred over the past two years for one of its products, skeins of knitting yarn, Jackson has selected four

the cost drivers are as follows:
Cost Category
Sales commissions
Pay-per-click/Search engine optimization
Cost of online sales
Credit and collection
Total selling costs
The knitting yarn is sold to retail outlets in boxes, each containing 12 skeins of yarn. The sale of partial boxes is not permitted.
Commissions are paid on sales to retail outlets but not on online sales. The cost of online sales includes technology infrastructure
costs and the wages of personnel who process the online orders. Jackson believes that the selling costs vary significantly with the size
of the order. Order sizes are divided into three categories as follows:
Order Size
Small
Medium
Large
Online Sales
1 to 10 skeins
11 to 20 skeins
Over 20…
