Jeremy Costa, owner of Costa Cabinets Inc.

is preparing a bid on a job that requires


P90,000 of direct materials, P80,000 of direct labor, and P40,000 of overhead.  Jeremy
normally applies a standard mark-up based on cost of goods sold to arrive at an initial
bid price.  He then adjusts the price as necessary in light of other factors (e.g.
competitive pressure).  Last year's statement is as follows:
 
                  Sales                                                           P6,500,000
                  Cost of goods sold                                         2,405,000
                      Gross margin                                             4,095,000
                  Selling and administrative expenses             2,315,000
                       Operating income                                     1,780,000

Required:
1.  Calculate the markup that Jeremy will use. (Use 1 decimal point for the markup
percentage.  Ex. 130.6%)
2.  What is Jeremy's initial bid price?

Solution:
Requirement 1:

(Sales−Cost of Goods Sold )


Markup Percentage = x 100
Cost of Goods Sold
(6,500,000−2,405,000)
= x 100
2,405,000
4,095,000
= 2,405,000 x 100

= 170.3%

Requirement 2:
Direct Materials P90,000
Direct Labor 80,000
Overhead 40,000
Total Cost P210,000

Initial Bid Price = Total Cost + (Markup Percentage x Total Cost)


= 210,000 + (170.3% x 210,000)
= 210,000 + 357,630
= P567,630
