Variable Cost per unit:
Direct materials $50
Direct labor $25
Variable manufacturing overhead $20
Variable selling and administrative expenses $18
Total Variable Cost $113
Fixed cost per unit: Total Cost ÷ Budgeted Volume = cost per unit
Fixed manufacturing overhead $600,000 ÷ 50000 = 12
Fixed selling and administrative expenses $400,000 ÷ 50000 = 8
Fixed cost per unit 1,000,000 $20
Total unit cost = 113 + 20 = $133 (a) Desired ROI per unit = (1,200,000 x 0.25) ÷ 50000 = 6
Markup percentage = Desired ROI ÷ Total Unit Cost = 6÷133 = 4.51% Target Selling Price = Total Unit Cost + Desired ROI per unit = 133 + 6 = 139 (b) Variable cost per unit 113
Fixed cost per unit (1,000,000 ÷ 40,000) 25
Total unit cost 138 Desired ROI (1,200,000 x 0.25) ÷ 40,000 7.50
Target Selling Price 145.50
Markup Percentage = 7.50 ÷ 138 = 5.43%

B) The conditions when a buying division should be forced to buy from an internal source should be when the price or quality of the internal product is better than the outside source. If the company is also trying to change the way that it does business this can apply as well. For instance if a company such as the one in this example makes the parts that they need using their own parts would be a better idea since the company knows the quality
