b) 17%

c) 14%

d) 23%

Minden Corporation estimates that the following costs and activity would be associated with the manufacture and sale of product A: Number of units sold annually Required investment Unit product cost Selling and administrative expenses $109,060 23,000 $430,000 $ 2:2 If the company uses the absorption costing approach to cost-plus pricing described in the text and desires a 17% rate of return on investment (ROI), the required markup on absorption cost for Product A would be closest to:

Explanation / Answer

Markup percentage on absorption cost =

[(Required ROI × Investment) + Selling and administrative expenses]*100 ÷ (Unit product cost × Unit sales)

=[17%*$4,30,000)+$1,08,960]*100÷ ($22*23,000)

=(73,100+$1,09,960)*100÷ $5,06,000

=$1,83,060*100÷$5,06,000

=36%

Therefore answer is option (a) 36%
