Assume Apple is designing a new smartphone. Each unit of this new phone is expected to require $230 of direct materials, $10 of direct labor, $20 of variable overhead, and $20 of variable selling and administrative costs. Required 1. If Apple uses the variable cost method to set selling prices and plans a markup of 200% of variable costs, what is the expected selling price per unit of this new phone? 2. Assume that Apple is a “price taker” and the market sales price for this type of phone is $800 per unit. Compute Apple’s target cost if the company desires a profit of 60% of sales price.

Limos Mfg. has been manufacturing furniture sets and is considering whether tomake or outsource its own seat cushions needed for its chairs. The expected priceof the cushions is P50 per unit.If it continue to produce the company would incur the following unit cost: Directmaterials P13, Direct Labor P15, Variable overhead 5, Fixed overhead (based onthe average production requirement of 10,000 units) P20 for a total of P53.Let us assume that materials and labor costs are expected to increase by 20% nextperiod. Factory overhead costs will remain the same, except that 40% of the fixedoverhead will be eliminated in case the company decides to buy the seat cushionsfrom other suppliers. Moreover, the facilities presently being used in the manufactureof seat cushions can be utilized to manufacture another part of the main product incase such facilities become vacant when the company decides to stop producing theseat cushions. The alternative use of resources would result into cost savings…
Answer all parts of the question 1. The unit costs ($) for manufacturing a component for a washing machine are as follows: Direct labor: 20; direct materials: $5; indirect labor and materials: 20% of direct labor; fixed and administrative costs: 30; selling costs: 10. a) Assuming a 90% first-pass yield, what should the unit selling price be if the manufacturer desires a 20% profit margin for conforming product? b) The manufacturer has identified a secondary market for the nonconforming products, that they can sell at $75/unit. Conforming product they wish to sell at 30% above costs. What is the expected profit per unit sold if the company has the same first-pass yield as in part a)? c) If the company improves its first-pass yield to 98%, what is the expected profit per unit sold, assuming other conditions are as stated in part b)?
A new product is being designed by an engineering team at Golem Security.
