A defense contractor has been able to summarize its total annual fixed costs as $100,000 and the total variable
cost per unit of production as $33.
19. If only 5000 units is all that is expected to sell to the government this year what should the per unit selling price
be to make a %25 profit this year?
Answer: Total costs = 100000 + 5000(33) = 265000
% profit = 100(revenue – cost)/cost
Therefore, 25 = 100(revenue – 265000)/265000
or, revenue = 265000(1.25) = 331250
Selling price = 331250/5000 = $66.25 / unit
20. If foreign sales of 3000 units per year is to be added to the 5000 units government contract above and a %25
profit is acceptable for this contractor again, what could be the new selling price per unit?
Answer: Total cost = 100000 + 8000(33) = 364000
Revenue for 25% profit = 364000(1.25) = 455000
New selling price = 455000/8000 = $56.875 per unit.
