Question

Lincoln, Inc., which uses a volume-based cost system, produces cat condos that sell for $140 each. Direct materials cost $22 per unit, and direct labor costs $15 per unit. Manufacturing overhead is applied at a rate of 280% of direct labor cost. Nonmanufacturing costs are $34 per unit. What is the gross profit margin for the cat condos

Answer 1

Answer:

43.57 %

Explanation:

The computation of the gross margin for the cat condos is given below:

Total Manufacturing Cost per unit is

= Direct materials + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead  

=  $22 + $15 + ( 280% of $15)

= $79

Now

Gross Profit is

= Selling price per unit - Total Manufacturing Cost per unit

= $140 -  $79

= $61

And finally

Gross Profit Margin is

= (Gross Profit ÷ Selling Price ) × 100

= ($61 ÷ $140) × 100

= 43.57 %
