Answer:
The dollar amount of desired profit from production and sale of the company's product is D) $96,000.
Explanation:
CALCULATING THE TOTAL COST -
The first step is to calculate the cost of production per unit of product =
Direct material cost + Direct labor cost + Variable factory overhead + Fixed factory overhead cost / Fixed selling and administrative costs
= $5.5 + $7.65 + $2.25 + $82,000 / $45,000
= $16.3 + $1.82
= $17.22
TOTAL COST = $16.3 X $45,000 + $82,000 + $45,000
= $860,500
Here we have taken $16.3 because we are taking fixed factory overhead and fixed selling and administrative cost separately.
TOTAL REVENUE = $860,500 + $96,000 ( $800,000 X 12% )
= $ 956,500
PROFIT = REVENUE - COST
= $956,500 - $860,500
= $96,000
