Explanation / Answer

Answer a

Desired Profit = Invested Assets * Rate of return = $15,000,000 * 20 % = $3,000,000

Answer b

Total Variable costs = $465 * 100,000 units = $46,500,000

Total Costs = Total variable costs + Total fixed costs = $46,500,000 +2,400,000 + 1,100,000 = $50,000,000

Per unit cost = Total costs / Production & sales units =   $50,000,000 / 100,000 units = $500 per unit

Answer c

Cost markup percentage per unit = Desired Profit / Total costs = ($3,000,000 / $50,000,000 ) * 100 = 6 %

Answer d

Selling Price per unit = Per unit cost * (100 + Cost markup percentage) % = $500 * 106 % = $530 per unit
