1.
Explanation of Solution
Cost-plus-markup approach: The pricing approach used by the companies to set the target selling price based on the cost plus desired profit, is referred to as cost-plus-markup approach.
Step 1: Calculate total unit cost.
Step 2: Calculate the allocated fixed selling and administrative cost.
Particulars | Cost per unit |
Total unit cost | $400 |
Less: Variable | $250 |
Less: Applied fixed manufacturing cost | $50 |
Less: Variable selling and administrative cost | $60 |
Allocated fixed and administrative cost | $40 |
Table (1)
Therefore, the fixed selling and administrative cost allocated to each unit of LM Corporation’s mover is $40.

Develop a cost-plus pricing formula which should result in a target price of $450 per mover for:
- (a) Variable manufacturing cost,
- (b) Absorption manufacturing cost, and
- (c) Total variable cost.
