Answer 1

£69 (nearest pound)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the cost breakdown for the manufacture of 1 complete high chair :

High Chair __ £8.50

Legs ______ £22.75

Strap _______ £1.90

Labour ______£2.60

Total : £(8.50 + 22.75 + 1.90 + 2.60)

Total manufacturing cost = £35.75

Profit margin = 30%

Sales price = (100 + profit margin)% * total manufacturing cost

Sales price = (100+30)% * 35.75

Sales price = 130% * 35. 75

Sales price = 1.3 * 35.75

Sales price = £68.575
