In the context of time-based competition,  "build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door." could be interpreted as "those who make better innovations would obtain the most opportunities to obtain profit in the market"

Innovations only offers advantages in the competition because it offer different options for consumers that exclusively belong to US. But innovation is NOT THE ONLY factors for the product's success. There are other factors that can influence the success such as marketing strategies, condition of the economy

Pauley Company needs to determine a markup for a new product. Pauley expects to sell 22,000 units and wants a target profit of $
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

variable markup % = 60%

Explanation:

total units sold 22,000

total costs associated with selling the 22,000 units:

variable production costs $18 x 22,000 = $396,000

variable S&A costs $13 x 22,000 = $286,000

fixed overhead = $20,500

fixed S&A = $36,700

total costs = $739,200

total cost per unit = $33.60

selling price = $33.60 + $16 = $49.60

markup percentage = [(sales price - unit cost) / unit cost] x 100

the total markup % = [49.60 - 33.60) / 33.60] x 100 = 47.62%

but since we are going to calculate the markup percentage solely based on variable costs, then:

variable cost per unit = $31

selling price = $49.60

the variable markup % = [49.60 - 31) / 31] x 100 = 60%
