$ per unit
a. Determine the total manufacturing costs for the production and sale of 2,000 units.
| Total Manufacturing Costs | |
| Variable [($83 +$30 +$26) × 2,000 units] | $278,000 | 
| Fixed factory overhead | $58,000 | 
| Total | $336,000 | 
Cost per unit for production and sale:
= Total Manufacturing Cost  
No. of units produced
= $336,000 
 2,000 units
= $168

b. Determine the product cost markup percentage per unit.
Markup Percentage = [Selling Expense + Desired Profit] 
 Total Manufacturing Cost
= ([$21  
2,000 units) + $20,000] + [Invested Assets  
ROI] 
 Total Manufacturing Cost
= $62,000 + [$116,560 
 25%] 
 $336,000
= [$62,000 + $29,140] 
 $336,000
= 27.125%

c. Determine the selling price per unit.
Selling price = Product Cost + markup
= $168 + [$168 
 27.125%]
= $168 + $45.57
= $213.57
