The variable cost per unit for the production and sale of the company's prouct is?

the markup percentage for the sale of the company's product is?

the unit selling price for the company's product is?

Explanation / Answer


The dollar amount of desired profit from the production and sales of the company product is

Desired Profit = 11.2% of 350,000 = $39,200

The variable cost per unit for the production and sale of the company's prouct is

= variable direct materials cost per unit+ variable direct labor cost per unit+ variable factory overhead cost per unit+ variable selling and administrative cost per unit

=4.35+5.18+0.98+0.70

=$11.21

The markup percentage for the sale of the company's product is:

Total Cost = 11.21*35000+105000+35000

= 532350

Desired Profit = 39200

Therefore, Mark-up % = 39200/532350*100 = 7.36% on cost

Or 39200/571550*100 = 6.86% on Sales

The unit selling price for the company's product is:

Total Cost = 532350

Desired Profit = 39200

Sales = 571550

No. Of Units = 35000

Therefore, Unit Selling Price = 571550/35000 = $16.33
