    (a) $41.84 per chair

    (b) $63.24 per chair

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Annual rental fee = $622,000

    January:

    Material cost = $16,500

    Labor cost = $26,000

    Number of chairs produced = 4,800

    February:

    Material cost = $9,500

    Labor cost = $12,500

    Number of chairs produced = 1,800

    Overhead absorption rate:

    = Annual rental fee : Budgeted production

    = $622,000 : 31,100

    = $20 per chair

    For January:

    Total cost for January:

    = Material cost + Labor cost + Overhead (Number of chairs produced * Overhead per chair)

    = $16,500 + $26,000 + (4,800 * $20 per chair)

    = $16,500 + $26,000 + $96,000

    = $138,500

    Desired profit:

    = 45% of cost

    = 0.45 * $138,500

    = $62,325

    Total Value of goods = Profit + Cost

    = $62,325 + $138,500

    = $200,825

    Price per chair:

    = Total value : Quantity sold

    = $200,825 : 4,800

    = $41.84 per chair

    For February:

    Total cost for February:

    = Material cost + Labor cost + Overhead (Number of chairs produced * Overhead per chair)

    = $9,500 + $12,500 + (1,800 * $20 per chair)

    = $16,500 + $26,000 + $36,000

    = $78,500

    Desired profit:

    = 45% of cost

    = 0.45 * $78,500

    = $35,325

    Total Value of goods = Profit + Cost

    = $35,325 + $78,500

    = $113,825

    Price per chair:

    = Total value : Quantity sold

    = $113,825 : 1,800

    = $63.24 per chair
