Absorption Costing Approach to Cost-Plus Pricing LO6—8
Martin Company uses the absorption costing approach to cost-plus pricing. It is considering the introduction of a new product. To determine a selling price, the company has gathered the following information:
Required:
- Compute the markup percentage on absorption cost required to achieve the desired ROL.
- Compute the selling price per unit.
Concept Introduction:
Costing is a process of calculation of the cost of the product or service manufactured or provided by an organization. There are two methods of costing; absorption costing and variable costing.
As per nature, costs can be divided into three categories, i.e., variable costs, fixed costs, and mixed costs.
Requirement-1:
The markup percentage.
Answer to Problem 6A.1E
The markup percentage is 25.71%.
Explanation of Solution
The markup percentage is calculated as follows:
Number of units (A) | $ 14,000 |
Unit product cost (B) | $ 25 |
Total absorption product cost (C) = (A*B) | $ 350,000 |
Selling and admn expenses (D) | $ 50,000 |
Total Cost (E) = (C+D) | $ 400,000 |
Amount of investment (F) | $ 750,000 |
Desired return on investment (G) | 12% |
Desired markup (H) = (F*G) | $ 90,000 |
Markup % (I) = (H/C) | 25.71% |

Requirement-2:
The selling price per unit.
Answer to Problem 6A.1E
The selling price per unit is $35.
Explanation of Solution
The selling price per unit is calculated as follows:
Number of units (A) | $ 14,000 |
Unit product cost (B) | $ 25 |
Total absorption product cost (C) = (A*B) | $ 350,000 |
Selling and admn expenses (D) | $ 50,000 |
Total Cost (E) = (C+D) | $ 400,000 |
Amount of investment (F) | $ 750,000 |
Desired return on investment (G) | 12% |
Desired markup (H) = (F*G) | $ 90,000 |
Markup % (I) = (H/C) | 25.71% |
Tota cost per unit (J) = (E/A) | $ 28.57 |
Markup per unit (K) = (H/A) | $ 6.43 |
Selling price (J+K) | $ 35.00 |

The contract needs 15kg of material Y. It currently costs £100 per kg to purchase material Y. The company has 10kg of this material in stock from a previous contract, it cost £85 per kg when purchased two years ago and it will not be used in the ordinary course of business. If it is not used for this contract the company has found a buyer for the quantity of material Y held, they are willing to pay £90 per kg for the material although it will cost £50 to pack and ship the material to the buyer.
