  Insurance $ 1,940 $ 1,940
  Miscellaneous $ 530 $ 0.10 $ 1,167

 

While gelato is sold by the cone or cup, the shop measures its activity in terms of the total number of liters of gelato sold. For example, wages should be $4,500 plus $1.10 per liter of gelato sold, and the actual wages for July were $10,770. Gelato Supremo expected to sell 5,300 liters in July, but actually sold 5,200 liters.
