Variable costs: Fixed costs: Direct materials $88 per unit Factory overhead $201,800 Direct labor 35 Selling and admin. exp. 71,500 Factory overhead 26 Selling and admin. exp. 19 Total variable cost per unit $168 per unit

Explanation / Answer

a.

Desired profit = Invested assets * Rate of return on invested assets

= 601,600 * 16%

= 96,256

b.

Total fixed costs per unit = (Factory overhead + Selling and administrative exp.) / 5,030 units

= (201,800+71,500) / 5,030

= 54.33

Product cost per unit = Total varaible cost per unit + Total fixed cost per unit

= 168 + 54.33

= 222.33

c.

Markup percentage = Desired profit / Total costs

= 96,256 / [(168*5,030) + 201,800 + 71,500]

= 96,256 / 1,118,340

= 8.61%

d.

Total cost 222.33 Markup 19.14 (222.33*8.61%) Selling price 241.47
