%
d. Determine the selling price of cell phones. Round your answers to the nearest whole dollar.
Total Cost | $per unit |
Markup | per unit |
Selling price | $per unit |
Answer a.
The amount of desired profit from the production and sale of 5,380 cell phones = Invested assets * Rate of return
= $600,700 * 16 % = $96,112.
Answer b.
The product cost per unit for the production of 5,380 of cell phones
= Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable Factory overhead + (Fixed Factory overhead / 5,380 units)
= $64 + $31 + $23 + ($198,000 / 5,380 units) = $155.
Answer c.
Total product costs = [(Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable Factory overhead) * 5,380 units] + Fixed Factory overhead
= [($64 + $31 + $23) * 5,380 units] + $198,000
= $832,840.
Total product costs | $832,840 |
Add: Selling and administrative expenses | |
Variable ($21 * 5,380 units) | $112,980 |
Fixed | $71,300 |
Add : Desired profit | $96,112 |
Sales value | $1,113,232 |
Total markup over product costs = $1,113,232 - $832,840 = $280,392
The product cost markup percentage for cell phones = Total markup over product costs / Total product costs
= $280,392 / $832,840 = 33.67 %.
Answer d.
Total Cost (product cost per unit ) | $155 per unit |
Markup ($155 * 33.67%) | $52 per unit |
Selling price | $207 per unit |
