Selling and administrative expenses based problem


Problem:

Company X manufactured & sold 1,000 sabres during November.  Selected data for this company are as follows:

Sales                                                           $100,000
Direct Materials Used                                       21,000
Direct Labor                                                    16,000
Variable manufacturing overhead                       13,000
Fixed Manufacturing overhead                            14,000
Variable selling and administrative expenses          ???
Fixed Selling & admin. Expenses                            ???
Contribution Margin                                           40,000
Operating Income                                              22,000

There were no beginning or ending inventories.

What were both the variable & mixed  selling and admin.expenses for Nov.?

* I have no idea as to how to determine these #’s.

What was the cost of good sold during November?

* Is this sum of beginning inventory + net purchases (but I don’t see any net purchases)

Last question- assume now that the fixed selling admin. Expenses for Nov. amounted to $14,000…..what was the break even point in units for Nov.?  How many units should be sold to earn a target operating income of $12,000? What would the selling price be if the company wanted to earn a operating income of $17,000 on the sale of 900 units.
