Joseph works in the accounting department of a local footwear manufacturer that specializes in clogs and boots. Clogs and boots typically sell for $$104$ and $$208$ per pair, respectively. Based on past experience, fashion trends, and seasonal shifts, the company expected to sell $730$ pairs of clogs and $270$ pairs of boots. The variable cost per pair was $$49$ for clogs and $$79$ for boots.

Actual sales volume: clogs, $880$; boots, $220.$

Actual selling price: clogs, $$115$ per pair; boots, $$197$ per pair.
