Answer:

a. 27.5%

b. $24.22

Explanation:

a. For computing the markup percentage, first we have to determine the sales which is shown below:

Profit = Sales -  variable cost - fixed cost

$4,725,000 × 10% = Sales - $1,900,000 - $50,000

$472,500 = Sales - $1,950,000

So, sales = $2,422,500

Now the markup percentage is

= (Sales - variable cost) ÷ (Variable cost)

= ($2,422,500 - $1,900,000) ÷ ($1,900,000)

= 27.5%

b. Now the selling price is

= Sales ÷ number of units produced

= $2,422,500 ÷ 100,000

= $24.22
