On FOB terms, the buyer:
1. Pays the cost of the goods, a car in this case.
2. Pays for transportation of the goods.
3. Pays import duties.
4. Pays for insurance.
However, advertising and salaries are general and administrative expenses and thus related to operation expenses and not production expenses.

In this case,
Assigned cost of the used car = 18,000+180+810+140 = $19,130
