Explanation / Answer

Variable costs:

    Direct materials

$4.70

    Direct labor

2.50

    Factory overhead

1.90

    Selling and administrative expenses

2.60

        Total

$11.70

Fixed costs:

    Factory overhead

$80,000

    Selling and administrative expenses

14,000

Number of units =38400

a. Amount of profit from production and sale

Variable cost =11.70

Fixed cost per unit=94000/38400=2.44

Total cost per unit=11.70+2.44=14.14

Mark up required =16%

Price after including mark up =1.6 *14.14=22.624

Price=22.62

Profit per unit=22.624-14.14=8.48

Total profit=8.48*38400=325632

b.Cost per unit=14.14

Total cost=14.14*38400=542976

c.Mark up %=16

d.Selling price =Cost + Mark up=14.14 + .16*14.14=22.63
