The budgets for all non-manufacturing departments, including the ones for sales, marketing, accounting, engineering, and facilities, make up the selling and administrative expense budget. Usually, the budget is submitted either monthly or quarterly.

This budget merits a great deal of attention because, taken as a whole, it can be comparable to the amount of the production budget. For a distinct sales and marketing budget and a separate administration budget, it can also be divided into segments.

This budget's data is not directly taken from any other budgets. Instead, managers choose the proper level of spending based on the overall level of corporate activity. To ascertain which activities are likely to be required more or less as sales levels and capital expenditures change, activity-based costing analysis may be used. Additionally, bottleneck operations may have some influence on the total amount of expenses in this budget (especially if the bottleneck is in the sales department). It is helpful to identify the activity levels at which step costs may be incurred and to include them in the budget when developing this one.

For the given question, the required budget has been attached in the form of images.
