Is this volume higher or lower than previously needed (in Question 5) to achieve the same target profit? Why? 4.40 3.00 Variable manufacturing overhead Variable selling and administrative expenses Monthly fixed expenses: Fixed manufacturing overhead Fixed selling and administrative expenses $ 111,600 167,400
