$ 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
