Answer 1

Answer:

The desired profit from the sale and production of K is 10% of invested amount=10%*$1285000

             =$128500

cost per unit =$18.68

b.total manufacturing cost=$18.68*50000=$934000

cost per unit remains=$18.68

Profit per unit =$2,57

markup %=2.57/18.68=13.76%

Selling price =cost+mark up

                       =$18.68+$2.57

                        =$21.25
