Fixed costs for the period were: Cost of goods sold $900,000, and selling and administrative expenses $135,000.

In July, normally a slack manufacturing month, Haslett receives a special order for 9,000 basketballs at $32 each from the European Basketball Association (EBA). Acceptance of the order would increase variable selling and administrative expenses $0.50 per unit because of shipping costs but would not increase fixed costs and expenses.
