Total selling and customer-service costs$360,000$362,500

Manufacturing conversion costs in each year depend on production capacity defined in terms of CM7 units that can be produced. Selling and customer-service costs depend on the number of customers that the customer and service functions are designed to support. Somerset Corporation has 100 customers in 2017 and 115 customers in 2018. The industry market size for high-end computer monitors increased 5% from 2017 to 2018.
