Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The questions are:
a. Compute the markup percentage using the total cost concept.
b. Compute the selling price of Product B.
a. The mark up percentage will be calculated as:
= Desired Profit / Total Cost
= ($785000 × 12%) / [($15 × 100,000) + $70,000]
= ($785,000 × 0.12) / [($15 × 100,000) + $70,000]
= $94,200 / $1,570,000
= 0.06
= 6%
b. Selling price of Product B will be calculated as:
= Cost amount per unit + Markup
= $15.70 + ($15.70 × 6%)
= $15.70 + $0.94
= $16.64
