Question

Morales Corporation produces microwave ovens. The following per unit cost information is available: direct materials $30, direct labor $20, variable manufacturing overhead $16, fixed manufacturing overhead $42, variable selling and administrative expenses $18, and fixed selling and administrative expenses $24. Its desired ROI per unit is $27.00. Compute its markup percentage using a total-cost approach. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 10.50%.)

Answer 1

111%

Step-by-step explanation:

Computation to determine its markup percentage using a total-cost approach

First step

Variable cost per unit= Direct materials+Direct labor+Variable manufacturing overhead+Variable selling and administrative expenses

Variable cost per unit= $30+20+16+18

Variable cost per unit= $84

Second step

Fixed cost per unit= Fixed manufacturing overhead+Fixed selling and administrative expenses

Fixed cost per unit= $42+24

Fixed cost per unit= $66

Now let determine the Variable costing markup percentage

Variable costing markup percentage= (Desired ROI+Fixed cost per unit)*100/Variable cost per unit

Variable costing markup percentage= ($27+66)*100/84

Variable costing markup percentage=110.7 %

Variable costing markup percentage=111% (Approximately)

Therefore its markup percentage using a total-cost approach is 111%
