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%

As per nature, costs can be divided into three categories, i.e., variable costs, fixed costs, and mixed costs.

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

Consider the following cost and pricing data of ABC Corp. on its Product X:Price: P120.00.per unitProfit Contribution: P90.00 Proposed additional Cost: P3 per unit (for quality improvement)Current Profits: P2.4 millionSales: 100,000 units. A. Assuming that average variable costs are constant at all output levels, find ABC Corp.’s total cost function before the proposed change.B. Calculate the total cost function if the quality improvement is implemented.C. Calculate ABC Corp.’s break-even output before and after the change, assuming it cannot increase its price.D. Calculate the increase in sales that would be necessary with the quality improvement to increase profits to P2.7 million
Evaluate the quantity at which revenue equals to costs (break-even point). <use Goal seek> Assumptions:   Fixed cost: 5000 Material costs per item: 2.25 Labor costs per item: 6.5 Shipping costs per 100 items: 200 Price per item: 12.99
