Question

Vaughn Manufacturing incurred the following costs for 84000 units: Variable costs $504000 Fixed costs 392000 Vaughn has received a special order from a foreign company for 2500 units. There is sufficient capacity to fill the order without jeopardizing regular sales. Filling the order will require spending an additional $4500 for shipping. If Vaughn wants to earn $5000 on the order, what should the unit price be?

Answer 1

Answer: $9.80

Step-by-step explanation:

The unit price to earn $5000 on the order will be calculated thus:

The variable costs for 2500 units will be:

= 504000/84000 × 2500

= 15000

The unit price will now be:

= (15000+4500+5000) / 2500

= 24500 / 2500

= $9.80

The unit price is $9.80
