Crystal Displays Inc. is currently considering establishing a selling price for flat panel displays. The president of Crystal Displays has decided to use the cost-plus approach to product pricing and has indicated that the displays must earn a 17% return on invested assets.

2. Assuming that the product cost method is used, determine (a) the cost amount per unit, (b) the markup percentage, and (c) the selling price of flat panel displays. Round your markup percentage and selling price to two decimal places.
3. (Appendix) Assuming that the total cost method is used, determine (a) the cost amount per unit, (b) the markup percentage, and (c) the selling price of flat panel displays. Round your markup percentage and selling price to two decimal places.
4. (Appendix) Assuming that the variable cost method is used, determine (a) the cost amount per unit, (b) the markup percentage, and (c) the selling price of flat panel displays. Round your markup percentage and selling price to two decimal places.
5. Comment on any additional considerations that could influence establishing the selling price for flat panel displays.
