aldean company wants to use absorption cost-plus pricing to set the selling price on a new product. the company plans to invest $170,000 in operating assets to produce and sell 17,000 units. its required return on investment (roi) in its operating assets is 18%. the accounting department has provided cost estimates for the new product as shown below: per unit total direct materials $ 7.80 direct labor $ 5.80 variable manufacturing overhead $ 2.80 fixed manufacturing overhead $ 130,050 variable selling and administrative expenses $ 1.80 fixed selling and administrative expenses $ 20,570 required: 1. what is the unit product cost for the new product? (round intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places.) 2. what is the markup percentage on absorption cost for the new product? (round intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.) 3. what selling price would the company establish for its new product using a markup percentage on absorption cost? (round intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places.)

Respuesta :

1) The unit product cost for the new product is  $24 .05

2) the markup percentage on absorption cost for the new product is 20%

3)the selling price would the company establish for its new product using a markup percentage on absorption cost is  $ 25.5   per product  

Since we are provided with the direct material which is   $ 7.80,  the direct labor per unit which is   $ 5.80, the variable manufacturing overhead which is $ 2.80, and the unit sales is  17,000   m and we are also provided with the return on investment (ROI) in its operating assets which is 18%, plus the fixed manufacturing overhead which is $ 130,050  and also the selling and administrative expenses which are $ 1.80.

Since we know the formula for calculating the unit product  cost is :

= Direct material cost per unit + Direct labor per unit+ Variable manufacturing overhead + Fixed manufacturing overhead

= $ 7.80+ $ 5.80 +$ 2.80 +($ 130,050/ 17,000)

= $ 7.80+ $ 5.80 +$ 2.80 + $7.65

= $24 .05

Secondly, the formula for calculating the Markup percentage on absorption cost  is:

= [(Required ROI × Investment) + Selling and administrative expenses] ÷ [Unit product cost × Units sales]

=[( 18%* $170,000)+ (   $ 1.80* 17,000   +$ 20,570 ) ] ÷ [ $24 .05*  17,000]

= 30600+51170÷408850

= 20 %

Lastly, theformula for calculating the selling point is

=((1 + markup percentage) x (Direct materials + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead) )

=((1+20 %)*( 7.80+5.80+$7.65)

=  $ 25.5
