Elmer J. Fudd manufactures widgets that are helpful in keeping rabbits out from gardens. Elmer will be making 12000 widgets during the next production run which has a fixed cost of $15,500 and variable cost of $21.85 per widget. What must be the minimum selling price that will fetch him at least a net profit of $50,500?
Fixed cost = 15500
Target profit = 50500
Minimum selling price = (Fixed cost + Target profit) / Number of units + Variable cost per unit
= (15500 + 50500) / 12000 + 21.85
= $27.35
