Answer:

markup % = 6.71%

markup in $ = $2.4375

selling price per unit = $38.75

Explanation:

budgeted sales units = 32,000

COGS ($992,000)

S&A expenses ($170,000)

required return = $520,000 x 15% = ($78,000)

total cost per unit = ($992,000 + $170,000) / 32,000 = $36.3125

total sales revenue = 32,000 x selling price = $1,240,000

selling price = $1,240,000 / 32,000 units = $38.75 per unit

markup % = (sales price per unit / total cost per unit) - 1 = ($38.75 / $36.3125) - 1 = 6.71%

mark up in $ = $38.75 - $36.3125 = $2.4375
