Question

Kaspar Corporation makes a commercial-grade cooking griddle. The following information is available for Kaspar Corporation's anticipated annual volume of 26,700 units.

The company uses a 41% markup percentage on total cost.

Compute the total cost per unit.

Total cost per unit $____________________

Per Unit Total Direct materials $20 Direct labor $6 Variable manufacturing overhead $14 Fixed manufacturing overhead $453,900 Variable selling and administrative expenses $5 Fixed selling and administrative expenses $186,900

Explanation / Answer

Fixed manufacturing overhead per unit = Total fixed manufacturing overhead / Number of units

= $453,900 / 26,700 = $17 per unit

Fixed selling and administrative expenses per unit = Total Fixed selling and administrative expenses / Number of units

= $186,900 / 26,700 = $7 per unit.

So, Total cost per unit = Direct material + Direct labor + Variable manufacturing overhead + Fixed manufacturing overhead + Variable selling expenses + Fixed selling expenses

= $20 + $6 + $14 + $17 + $5 + $7 = $69 per unit.

So, Total cost per unit is $69

Markup = 41% of total cost = $69 x 41% = $28.29

So, total selling price per unit = Cost per unit + Markup = $69 + $28.29 = $97.29 per unit.
