Your answer is partially correct. For George, setting prices has always been a clear-cut process: tell him the costs and he'll tell you at what price to sell it. Amazingly, his approach has worked flawlessly so far. George's manufacturing costs run $5.00 per unit, and his selling and administrative costs are $5.00 per unit. To date, he has used a markup of 10% on full cost, but he is thinking about changing his selling and administrative situation significantly, which will make those costs more difficult to estimate. If George wants to use a new markup percentage based on just manufacturing cost, will that markup percentage need to be higher or lower than 10% to generate a comparable profit? (Round answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 15%.) Markup percentage based on manufacturing cost %

Hello, I have the following question. D&R Corp. has annual revenues of $284,000, an average contribution margin of 35%, and fixed expenses of $100,500. A. Management is considering adding a new product to the company's product line. The new item will have $8.6 of variable costs per unit.

I wanted to check on the formula for minimum acceptable price in terms of special orders. Here is some data that I made up: Normal selling price = $100 variable costs = $50 fixed costs = $20 The company's capacity is 5000 units. They currently produce 4500 units. The special order is for 1000 units. There are no additional fixed costs or additional selling or administrative costs. I am looking for the minimum acceptable price. I think it's (variable costs + fixed cost increase + opportunity cost per unit)/ number of units in order. Thanks!

A company has a process that results in 14000 pounds of Product A that can be sold for $8 per pound. An alternative would be to process Product A further at a cost of $93800 and then sell it for $14 per pound. Should management sell Product A now or should Product A be processed further and then sold? What is the effect of the action? Sell now, the company will be better off by $9800. Process further, the company will be better off by $84000. Process further, the company will be better off by $9800. Sell now, the company will be better off by $93800.
