Selling price | $fill in the blank 6per unit |
a)
Amount of desired profit = rate of return on investment x invested assets = 16% x $599,000 = $95,840
b)
Direct Material = $ 62
+Direct Labour = $ 38
+Variable Factory Overhead = $ 26
+Fixed Factory Overhead = $ 40
( 200,200/5,010 = 40 )
Product cost per unit = $166
c) Calculation of Product Cost Markup % :
Total Product Cost = 5010 x 166 = $831,660
+Total Variable Selling and Admin expenses = 20 x 5,010 = $100,200
+Total Fixed Selling and Admin expenses = $ 69,900
+Desired Profit = $ 95,840
Sales =$1,097,600
Total Markup over Product Cost = $1,097,600 - $831,660 = $265,940
Product Cost Markup % = Markup over Product Cost/Total Product Cost = 265,940/831,660 = 0.31977 = 31.98%
Note:
You can also find Product Cost Markup % by adding Total Variable Selling and Admin Expenses, Total Fixed Selling and Admin Expenses, and Desired Profit and dividing the result with Total Product Cost
d) Product Cost per unit = $166.00
+Markup = 31.98% x 166 = $ 53.00 (approx)
Selling Price = $219.00
