  21. Gray ltd wish to sell 10,000 units of its product which has a variable cost of $20. Fixed cost is $46,000$ and required profit is 24,000$ . Calculate selling price per unit

    Reply
    • Fixed Cost (46,000) + Net Operating Income (24,000)= Contribution Margin (70,000)
      Variable Cost per unit (20) * Sale Units (10,000) = Variable cost (200,000)
      Contribution Margin (70,000) + Variable Cost (200,000) = Selling Price (270,000)

      Either
      Contribution Margin(70,000) / Unit of Sales (10,000)= CM units = 7
      THUS Variable Cost per unit (20) + CM units (7) = Selling price per unit (27)
