Answer:
$81.96 per unit
Explanation:
The computation of selling price based on the absorption costing is shown below:-
Unit Product Cost = Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable manufacturing overhead + Fixed manufacturing overhead
= $26.50 + 15.50 + 3.70 + ($156,71,400 ÷ 97,000 Units)
= $26.50 + 15.50 + 3.70 + 16.20
= $61.90
Selling and administrative expenses = Fixed selling and administrative expenses + (production and sales of units × Variable selling and administrative expenses)
=$15,40,000 + (97,000 Units × $3.60)
= $15,40,000 + 349,200
= $18,89,200
Markup on absorption cost = ((Investment x Return on Investment) + Selling and administrative expenses) ÷ (Number of units × Unit product cost)
= (($380,000 × 15%) + 18,89,200) ÷ (97,000 × $61.90)
= $19,46,200 ÷ $60,04,300
= 0.3241 or
= 32.41%
Selling price based on the absorption costing = Unit product cost × (1 + Markup on absorption cost)
= $61.90 per unit × (1 + 0.3241)
= $81.96 per unit
