Explanation of Solution

Cost-plus pricing is the simple cost-based pricing method to determine the prices of goods or services. Under this method, first add the direct material cost, the direct labor cost and the overhead cost to calculate the cost of production and a markup percentage is added to the total cost to decide the selling price of goods or services.

There are 3 steps to calculate the cost-plus pricing:

Step 1: Calculate the total cost of the product or service which is the sum of variable cost and fixed cost.

Step 2: Divide the total cost as calculated in step 1 by the number of units to calculate the cost per unit.

Step 3: Multiply per unit cost by the required markup percentage to compute the selling price and profit margin per unit of product.
