Total Annual Costs (150,000 units)

Direct Material $200,000

Direct Labor $180,000

Manufacturing overhead $150,000

Selling, general, and administrative $100,000

    (a) $8.20

    (b) $1,125,000

    (c) 125,000

    Explanation:

    (a) Unit selling price:

    = (Total cost incurred + Desired profit) : Number of units sold

    = ($630,000 + $600,000) : 150,000

    = $8.20

    (b) Profit = Dollar sales - Variable cost - Fixed cost

    ($ sales * 20% profit) = $ sales - ($ sales * 60%) - $225,000

    ($ sales * 20% profit) = ($ sales * 40%) - $225,000

    $225,000 = ($ sales * 40%) - ($ sales * 20% profit)

    $225,000 = ($ sales * 20%)

    Dollar sales = $225,000 : 20%

    = $1,125,000

    (c) No. of units required to be sold:

    = Dollar sales : Selling price per unit

    = $1,125,000 : $9

    = 125,000
