Respuesta :

Answer: $183.18

Explanation:

Pinkin aims to make a 20% markup on the total cost of selling the product.

Costs

Fixed Cost Per Unit

= (Total fixed overhead + Total fixed administrative) / no. of units

= (110,000 + 90,000)/43,000

= $4.65

Variable Costs Per Unit

= Variable product cost per unit + Variable administrative cost per unit

= 82 + 66

= $148

Total Cost per unit = 4.65 + 148

= $152.65

Price Pinkin should charge

= Total Cost ( 1 + Markup)

= 152.65 ( 1 + 20%)

= $183.18‬
