Question

GoSnow sells snowboards. Each snowboard requires direct materials of $128, direct labor of $53, and variable overhead of $63. The company expects fixed overhead costs of $301,000 and fixed selling and administrative costs of $229,000 for the next year. The company has a target profit of $189,800. It expects to produce and sell 11,800 snowboards in the next year. Compute the selling price using the variable cost method. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answer 1

Unitary selling price= $304.93

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Unitary variable costs:

direct materials of $128

direct labor of $53

the variable overhead of $63.

Fixed costs:

The fixed overhead costs of $301,000

Fixed selling and administrative costs of $229,000

The company has a target profit of $189,800.

Units sold= 11,800 snowboards

First, we need to calculate the total contribution margin required:

Contribution margin= net profit + total fixed expense

Contribution margin= 189,000 + (301,000 + 229,000)

Contribution margin= $719,000

Now, we calculate the total variable expense:

Total variable cost= 11,800* (128 + 53 + 63)

TVC= 2,879,200

Finally, we calculate total sales and the unitary selling price:

Total sales= contribution margin + total variable cost

Total sales= 719,000 + 2,879,200= 3,598,200

Unitary selling price= 3,598,200/11,800= $304.93
