Answer:

a. Selling price per unit: $8.15

b. Pro forma income statement given selling price per unit is $8.15:

Sales revenue ( 8.15 x 190,000) $ 1,548,500

Variable cost (60.6% x 1,548,500) $ (938,391)

Fixed cost $ (340,000)

EBIT $270,109

=> Thus, at the selling price per unit at $8.15, the firm will achieved targeted EBIT

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for selling price per unit as below:

Targeted Sales Revenue = (Targeted EBIT + Fixed cost) / Contribution margin ration = ( 270,000 + 340,000 ) / ( 1 - 60.60%) = $1,548,223.35.

Tarted selling price per unit = Targeted Sales Revenue / Unit sold = 1,548,223.35 / 190,000 = $8.15 per unit.
