Tynex, Inc., a manufacturing company produces 80,000 units of product A at a total cost of $2.4 million. Total fixed costs are $1.4 million. If the company increases production by 25% and uses a 19% markup, the price per unit will be:

A)

$51.80

B)

$37.10

C)

$30.80

D)

$31.54


Explanation / Answer

Total variable cost = $(2.4-1.4) million

=$1 million

Variable costper unit = 1000000/80000

=$12.50

New level of production = 1.25*80000

100000 units

New cost per unit =((12.50*100000)+1400000)/100000

=$26.50

NewPrice = 1.19*26.50

=$31.54

Hence,option (D) is the correct answer
