There is sufficient capacity to fill the order without jeopardizing regular sales. Filling the order will require spending an additional $6,300 for shipping. If Coldwater wants to earn $6,000 on the order, what should the unit price be

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is $10.10

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:

First we calculate the Variable cost, then

Variable cost per unit = $420,000 ÷ 70,000 units

= $6 per unit

Let selling price be "x"

Contribution = Cost of shipping + Required profit

Where, Contribution = ( Selling price - Variable cost) × Units

So, By putting the value, we get

(x - $6) × 3,000    = $6,300 + $6,000

3000x - $18,000 = $12,300

x  = ($12,300  + $18,000) ÷ 3,000

So,  x = $30,300 ÷ 3,000

= $10.10
